This document is a Notice of Recommended Bid Award issued by The School Board of Polk County, Florida's Purchasing Department for Bid File #038-MJ-0225, concerning a 3 Brush Vehicle Wash System. The bid recommendation is to be presented to the Superintendent for approval on 2/10/2025, with the recommended vendor being Westmatic from Buffalo, NY. The posting period for this recommendation is from 2/5/2025 at 9:00 AM to 2/10/2025 at 9:00 AM, with an estimated annual value of $188,000. The original award to NS Corporation on 01/07/2025 is being rescinded due to the vendor's inability to supply products at bid pricing.

The recommended new award is for all items, specifically a vehicle wash system to be installed at the Polk County Public Schools' Tenoroc Facility. The contract is structured for a three-year base period, commencing approximately on 2/10/2025 and ending on 2/10/2028. The system requires configuration, delivery, and installation of a gantry-style 3-brush roller system capable of washing various vehicle types, including semi-trucks/trailers, school buses, and passenger vehicles. The awardee will need to integrate the new wash system with the existing Fuelmaster system for activation. The document emphasizes that failure to follow bid protest procedures will constitute a waiver of all protest rights.
