About this file
The document is a Public Notice of Intent to Enter into a Single Source Purchase issued by the City of Sanford's Finance Department Purchasing Division in Florida. The notice indicates the city intends to procure Toro commercial turf equipment maintenance and repair services from Wesco Turf, Inc., with a contract term of one year from December 2, 2024, to December 23, 2024. The procurement covers highly technical repairs on hydraulic systems for Toro equipment, including cloud services and software updates that can only be performed by Wesco technicians using proprietary computer tools. The total requested amount is $49,999.00, and the notice will remain posted for at least seven business days to allow potential alternative suppliers to submit qualifications.
Wesco Turf, Inc. is identified as the sole distributor of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and warranty repair services for Toro equipment throughout Florida, which justifies the single-source procurement. The city owns several Toro units serviced by Fleet Maintenance, with equipment valued at over $1,000,000. The procurement follows Florida Statutes sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), and includes commodity codes 515 015, 515 056, and 515 035. A supporting letter from The Toro Company confirms Wesco Turf's exclusive distribution rights for commercial turf equipment, parts, service, and golf course irrigation products in the geographic area, effectively limiting competitive bidding.
