About this opportunity

Sarasota County is conducting an Invitation for Bids (IFB #252690AMS) to procure a 21' Boston Whaler 210 Guardian with Trailer for stormwater operations. The procurement seeks a new, unused boat and trailer from the 2025 model year or newer, to be delivered to the Sarasota County Operations Center. Specific requirements include a 200 XL EFI 4-Stroke Mercury Engine, an unsinkable white commercial fiberglass hull, self-bailing design, stainless steel components, and electronics mounted on a galvanized tandem axle trailer. Bidders must submit proposals electronically through the OpenGov Procurement portal, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The submission deadline is April 8, 2025, and the evaluation will involve a comprehensive acceptance process including visual and functional inspection of the boat and trailer. All costs must be included in the initial bid, with no additional fees to be paid by the county, and delivery is specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, and local or American business preferences are explicitly noted as not applicable due to grant funding requirements. The vendor will be required to provide a warranty covering the product for one year or the standard manufacturer's warranty period, whichever is longer. Upon delivery, the successful vendor must conduct a basic demonstration of product usage and maintenance. The invoice must be submitted within 30 calendar days of product acceptance. While the specific budget range is not explicitly stated, this appears to be a one-time purchase for a specialized piece of equipment for stormwater operations. The procurement is specific to Sarasota County, encompassing both the county jurisdiction and the Siesta Key Census Designated Place (CDP), with the boat intended to support local stormwater management infrastructure and operational needs.
