Broward County Landfill - GPS Based Grading and Compaction System

Broward County's Solid Waste and Recycling Services Division is procuring a GPS-based landfill grading and compaction system through a competitive bidding process with a deadline of May 6, 2026. The procurement seeks to acquire a complete system including a Windows-based machine control box, dual GNSS receiver with integrated tilt sensor and UHF radio capabilities, landfill grading and compaction software, mounting hardware, machine wiring kits, customizable operator display screens, and three-year limited warranties covering both hardware and GNSS receiver components. The system is designed to optimize landfill operations by improving airspace utilization, compaction efficiency, grading accuracy, and operational reporting through machine guidance for airspace optimization, real-time compaction tracking with color-mapped visualization, vertical and horizontal operator alerts, and configurable performance reporting with customizable KPI checklists. All pricing must be firm and fixed on an F.O.B. Destination basis, including all shipping and delivery costs, with invoices submitted through a designated county purchase order process. Vendors must be authorized manufacturer dealers with manufacturer's warranty protection, provide proof of insurance coverage prior to bid submission or within three business days of request, comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, and meet security requirements outlined in a separate Security Evaluation Memorandum addressing software, equipment, and data protection standards including AES-256 encryption and TLS 1.2 protocols. The contract period extends for three years upon award with options for two additional one-year renewal terms for a maximum of five years, subject to appropriation and availability of funds.

The solicitation contains no identified set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned business designations. Vendors must certify non-debarment status, non-collusion compliance per Florida Statutes Section 112.3135, and authorization to extend identical pricing to other governmental entities. No incumbent vendors or existing contracts are referenced in the procurement documents. Insurance requirements mandate Commercial General Liability coverage with minimum limits of $500,000 per occurrence and aggregate, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, Employer's Liability with $100,000 per accident minimum, and Pollution/Environmental Liability with maximum $10,000 deductible, with Broward County named as additional insured on all applicable policies. Vendors must accept Visa payment without additional fees and may earn preference in tied bid situations by certifying implementation of a drug-free workplace program. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available procurement documents, though the scope of deliverables and comprehensive warranty requirements suggest a significant capital equipment acquisition.
