The District is a political subdivision of the state of Florida, whose boundaries cover all or portions of 18 counties, and is tax exempt (Tax ID No. 85-8012643710C-3; expires March 31, 2028). Respondent shall provide an estimate of all applicable taxes and fees in its quote, including a list of taxes and fees that fall under the District’s exemption.

1. Opening of Quotes

a. The Florida Public Records Act, §119.071(1)(b), Fla. Stat., exempts sealed quotes from inspection and copying until such time as the District provides notice of an intended decision pursuant to §120.57(3)(a), Fla. Stat., or until 30 days after opening of quotes, whichever is earlier. This exemption is not waived by the public opening of quotes.

b. Unless otherwise exempt, Respondent’s quote is a public record that is subject to disclosure upon expiration of the above exemption. If any information submitted with the Quote is a trade secret as defined in §812.081, Fla. Stat., and exempt from disclosure pursuant to §815.04, Fla. Stat., Respondent must clearly identify any such material as “CONFIDENTIAL TRADE SECRET” in its submittal and explain the basis for such exemption.

b. Submission of a quote constitutes acknowledgment of receipt of all addenda. Quotes will be construed as though all addenda had been received. Failure of the Respondent to receive any addenda does not relieve Respondent from any and all obligations under the quote, as submitted.

All addenda become part of the Agreement.

I of the State Constitution (Public Records) until such time as the District provides notice of an intended decision concerning the reissued competitive solicitation or until the District withdraws the reissued competitive solicitation. A recording and any records presented at an exempt meeting are not exempt for longer than 12 months after the initial District notice rejecting all quotes.

c. The District will examine the quotes to determine completeness. Obvious mismatches with regard to technical or commercial requirements will be rejected at this time.

d. If two or more quotes are equal in all respects, the Agreement will be awarded as follows: (1) to the Respondent that certifies compliance with §287.087, Fla. Stat., via the Drug-Free Workplace Form; or (2) by lot.

e. In the event the Successful Respondent(s) fail to enter into the Agreement or the Agreement with said Respondent is terminated within 90 days of the effective date, the District reserves the right to negotiate with the other respondents in ranked order, if available, and award an Agreement.

EXHIBIT 1 — BACKGROUND/INFORMATION

DATA LOGGERS, EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURES, RADIOS, AND MODEMS

I. Background Data loggers, equipment enclosures, radios and modems are needed to support the District’s data collection and telemetry systems. Campbell Scientific, Inc., has been developing and producing these instruments for more than 40 years. The Campbell product has been integrated into the Bureau of Water Resource Information’s (WRI’s) monitoring program and has proven to be highly reliable and an asset to the program. WRI has approximately 1,000 units deployed in the field. If the District used other data loggers from different sources, inefficiencies would result with regard to increased field staff time and additional training related to data collection and modification of existing data processing routines; there would be a need to develop an alternate, non-standard, hardware interface for use in the field; and there would be a potential for decreased data quality.

The District anticipates issuing a Price Agreement to the authorized Campbell Scientific retailer (vendor) who provides the lowest total cost of the items in Exhibit 2 – Unit Price List for 2025. The selected vendor will submit updated Unit Price List annually. The District will order the equipment on an ‘as-needed’ basis via purchase order and makes no guarantee of the amount to be purchased. Please provide the 2025 unit price for each item listed in Exhibit 2 - Unit Price List. Part numbers are provided for informational purposes only. If specified Campbell Scientific Model/Part Number is unavailable for any reason, contact the Procurement Specialist to initiate an addendum. Do not modify the Cost Schedule to include unspecified Campbell Scientific Model/Part Numbers.

I. Background

Data loggers, equipment enclosures, radios and modems are needed to support the District’s data collection and telemetry systems. Campbell Scientific, Inc., has been developing and producing these instruments for more than 40 years. The Campbell product has been integrated into the Bureau of Water Resource Information’s (WRI’s) monitoring program and has proven to be highly reliable and an asset to the program. WRI has approximately 1,000 units deployed in the field. If the District used other data loggers from different sources, inefficiencies would result with regard to increased field staff time and additional training related to data collection and modification of existing data processing routines; there would be a need to develop an alternate, non-standard, hardware interface for use in the field; and there would be a potential for decreased data quality.

The District anticipates issuing a Price Agreement to the authorized Campbell Scientific retailer (vendor) who provides the lowest total cost of the items in Exhibit 1 – Unit Price List for 2025. The selected vendor will submit update Unit Price List annually. The District will order the equipment on an as needed basis via purchase order and makes no guarantee of the amount to be purchased. Please provide the 2025 unit price for each item listed in Exhibit 1 - Unit Price List. Part numbers are provided for informational purposes only. The Vendor shall submit an updated Unit Price List annually.
