Exemption_Revision_4_and_Original_-_Unity_Form.pdf

This is an Exemption Revision Form for a sole source procurement by Sarasota County's Emergency Services Department, involving Jack Graham, Inc. DBA Marina Operations. The document details a boat lift rental for the Sarasota County Fire Department's boat at Marina Jack's dock, with the original sole source contract (SS 1898) being renewed for a period of one year. The boat lift rental is priced at $890 per month, totaling $10,680.00 annually, and provides the fire department with 24/7/365 access to an individual boat lift for dry storage without relying on marina staff.

The estimated expenditure for the fiscal/contract year is $12,171.60, which represents an increase from the previous contract's estimated amount of $11,592.00. The county receives a 30% government discount on the lift rental and also purchases ethanol-free marine fuel at the marina through a county term contract. Marina Jack is identified as the only facility in the county that can provide an individual boat lift for dry storage, with a location that allows quick access to the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding waters for emergency response. The procurement is justified as having no comparable product or service available, making it a sole source procurement.
