This document is a Single/Sole Source Justification and Approval Form from the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners, specifically for the Solid Waste Department. The form seeks approval to purchase services from FQS Bear Equipment for Amerex fire suppression work on Caterpillar equipment, with an estimated annual purchase amount of $25,000.00. The request is for an annual purchase, and the vendor/contractor contact is Shannon Boling, reachable at (803) 957-4946 or shannon@fqs-inc.com.

They are the vendor that Ring Power uses for service equipment under warranty, and the county needs to utilize their services after the warranty period.
