This document is a Sole Source Form from Sarasota County's Public Works Department for procuring land surveying equipment from Florida Level and Transit Co Inc (FLT Geosystems). The procurement seeks to purchase Land Surveying Equipment, specifically a Digital Level package and Robotic Total Station with Field Collector and replacement parts for the Survey-Mapping Division. The contract is set for a one-year term, starting 05/12/2022 and ending 05/10/2024, with an estimated expenditure of $100,000.00 for the fiscal/contract year.

The sole source justification is based on the department's current use of exclusively Leica survey equipment, and the need to maintain compatibility and functionality across their existing equipment sets. The county argues that only Leica equipment can ensure seamless integration with their current fully integrated Leica Geosystems RTK GPS network, including GPS Rovers, Total Stations, and Levels operated by a Leica field controller. The procurement has been approved by the Procurement Analyst and Procurement Official, with authorization for expenditures between $50,001 and $100,000, and the document notes that alternative vendors may be considered if they can demonstrate ability to supply similar products.
