About this file

This is a Single Source Purchase (PUR 7776) document from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the Punta Gorda Weight Station Scale Replacement project. The document describes the intended purchase of a scale replacement for the Northbound and Southbound Scales at the Punta Gorda Weigh Stations, with a contract term of one (1) year. The project aims to enhance safety, improve mobility, and decrease commercial vehicle wait times by replacing Scale 2 and constructing a new scale pit that will increase the scale length to 86 feet. The posting date is 03/25/25, with the last day for receipt of information on 04/16/25.

The estimated dollar amount for this single source acquisition is $767,706.00, with Mettler Toledo, LLC identified as the intended vendor. The justification for the single source acquisition is based on Mettler Toledo's proprietary electronic scales and software, which are critical to the Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) system. The existing computer systems were developed by Mettler Toledo and are compatible with the existing 7541 scales throughout the state. Mettler Toledo has an exclusive copyright to the Scale Management software/hardware integration, with no available resellers, making them the sole source for this specific procurement.

Performance and/or Design Requirements (intended use, function or application, compatibility etc. requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate): To enhance safety, improve mobility, and decrease the average commercial vehicle wait time at the Punta Gorda scale facility, FDOT is replacing the current Scale 2 on both northbound and southbound facilities. During the building replacement in 2018, the footprint of the new building encroached on the existing scales. With this encroachment, Scale 2 must be shifted 4 feet to allow for over dimensional trucks to safely pass the facility. This shift in location requires a new scale pit to be constructed, allowing the Department the opportunity to increase the scale length to 86 feet. This additional length will eliminate the need to accumulate weights for longer trucks, decreasing the average wait time on the scales. The new scale system must remain compatible with the existing 7541 scales throughout the state which further reduces maintenance costs by ensuring FDOT has the spare parts necessary to repair the scales.

Intended source (vendor, contractor): Mettler Toledo, LLC

Estimated Dollar Amount: $767,706.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate): The existing computer systems for the scales were developed by

Mettler Toledo and are compatible with the existing 7541 scales throughout the state. Mettler Toledo’s proprietary electronic scales are vital to the Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) system. The PDX scales work with Mettler Toledo’s WIM software, enablinng automatic system functions like auto calibration, center of gravity assessment, auto release and WIM record verification. Mettler Toledo has exclusive copyright to the software, and there are no resellers for the Scale

Management software/hardware integration.
