SS-27-6002IZ - Addendum 1.pdf

This is an Addendum No. 1 document issued by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six Contracts Office on August 11, 2026, pertaining to a single-source purchase opportunity for debris tank replacement and vacuum relief system repair on a 2018 Vac-Con Vactor truck. The addendum schedules a mandatory site visit for all proposers on Thursday, August 13, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. at the North Dade Maintenance facility located at 1773 NE 205th Street, North Miami Beach, Florida 33179. The Vactor truck is used by the North Dade Maintenance section for daily removal of sediment and debris from drainage structures throughout the Miami-Dade County state roadway system, with particular operational importance in flood-prone areas including Miami Beach where maintaining clear stormwater systems prevents roadway flooding during heavy rainfall events.

The total project cost for the debris tank replacement and vacuum relief system repair is $92,155.00, with the intended sole source being Vac-Con/Southern Sewer Equipment Sales based on manufacturer specifications and authorized-service-provider requirements. The debris tank wall thickness has fallen below the manufacturer-specified 3.5 mm safety threshold, and the vacuum relief valves have seized, creating operational and safety concerns that only the authorized service provider can properly address using manufacturer-approved components and procedures. Vendor information must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. EST on Monday, August 17, 2026, to the District 6 Contracts Office. All other documents and requirements for the subject project remain unchanged from the original advertisement.
