Florida Transportation Systems, Inc. submitted the sole responsive bid with a grand total price of $651,200.00 and received the intent to award. The bid tabulation notes indicate that errors in the bidder's price sheet were corrected during the evaluation process. The vendor evaluation methodology assigned price points based on unit prices for buses and percentage discounts for replacement parts, with pricing intended to be firm and inclusive of all associated costs. The procurement replaced a previous ATC (approved to compete contract) that was expiring and consolidated prior procurement methods for parts and equipment that had been obtained through informal quoting processes or alternate contract sources approved by the Department of Management Services. Protests of the award must be filed within the time prescribed in Section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, with any required bond or security posted within the specified timeframe to preserve protest rights.
