This is a Compensation Exhibit (Exhibit B) supporting RFP 26-057 issued by Citrus County, Florida for promotional products and custom logo apparel and accessories. The RFP seeks qualified vendors to supply embroidered and screen-printed clothing items, including t-shirts, polo shirts, and baseball caps, along with promotional items such as litter bags, koozies, pens, pencils, key chains, magnet clips, rulers, mouse pads, and stress balls. The initial contract term is two years with options to renew for three additional one-year periods. Key deadlines include a question submission deadline of January 21, 2026, a proposal due date of February 3, 2026 at 2:00 PM, and a public proposal opening at 2:15 PM via Microsoft Teams. Vendors must submit samples of embroidered garments, screen-printed t-shirts, and at least two promotional items by the proposal deadline. The contract award is anticipated for March 31, 2026, with the contract commencing upon execution and receipt of a purchase order.

Exhibit B establishes the compensation structure as percentage discounts off the vendor's national catalog or website pricing for promotional items and apparel without embroidery or screen printing, with specified unit costs and minimum order quantities for screen printing setup fees, color changes, single and double-sided printing, sleeve charges, embroidery setup fees, and embroidery charges. Vendors must absorb all setup costs including screen-printing, embroidery digitization, and logo customization, and must include shipping and freight costs in quoted prices. The County currently spends approximately $25,000 annually on promotional products, though no minimum purchase volume is guaranteed. Vendors must meet specific qualifications including three years of business experience, active Florida Sunbiz registration, and liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate. The County reserves the right to select multiple vendors and may renew contracts by mutual consent.
