Commodity or Service Required (commodity class and group, manufacturer, model, and description, as appropriate): 42151511 - Bridges components or accessories, 31251500 - Actuators

Requestor (division, bureau, office, individual, as appropriate): D2 Bridge Maintenance

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):

The Department requires a complete linear actuator and two additional thrust units matching the specification of actuators currently installed on the Crescent Beach Bridge in St Augustine, Florida. Existing actuator serial numbers are 20091.001 and 200091.002. Linear actuator shall have a self-locking acme screw driven by a 3 phase, 60Hz electric motor with a parallel gear box via a timing belt with an electromagnetic brake.

Intended source (vendor, contractor): RACO International, L.P.

Price: $100,000.00

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): RACO International is the only vendor that builds these actuator and thrust units for the District Two drawbridges (Bridge of Lions and Crescent Beach Bridge). We are currently requesting to purchase two replacement thrust units and one actuator for the span locks, but may purchase an additional actuator. These are the thrust units that go into the span locks.

The whole lock takes approximately 21 weeks to build. It should be noted that we currently do not have replacement parts should the span locks fail. These parts are crucial to the safe operation of the drawbridges.
