About this opportunity

The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida is soliciting bids for Custodial Floor Cleaning Equipment (Bid #26-0086), seeking to establish a firm discount off current manufacturer published list prices for floor cleaning equipment and repair parts. The procurement covers equipment from 20 specific manufacturers including Advance, Bissell, Clarke, Karcher, and others, to be used across 52 school locations and district facilities on an as-needed basis. Bidders must submit percentage discounts for equipment and repair parts, with the contract term set for one year and potential options to renew for two additional one-year periods. The bid submission deadline is December 5, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. EST, with electronic submissions required through the VendorLink Portal. Recommended awards will be posted on January 13, 2026, with final Board action scheduled for January 20, 2026. Vendors must provide equipment that is new, with a minimum one-year 100% parts and labor warranty, and deliver within 45 calendar days of purchase order receipt. Training must be provided within 30 days of delivery, and emergency warranty service must be available within 24 hours of notification.

The procurement includes provisions for small and minority business enterprises, with bidders required to complete certification forms indicating their status under Florida Statutes 288.703. Vendors must submit two critical affidavits: one certifying compliance with labor coercion prohibitions and another confirming the company is not owned or controlled by specified foreign countries of concern. Out-of-state bidders must provide a legal opinion regarding any bidding preferences. Tie-breaking procedures favor drug-free workplace certified companies, followed by Sarasota County and then Florida-based businesses. Vendors must maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and comply with all OSHA requirements. While no specific budget range is listed, the solicitation allows for flexible vendor selection across multiple manufacturers. The School Board reserves the right to award by category, to multiple vendors, or in any manner deemed in its best interest, with the ability to terminate the contract with 30 days' written notice for poor performance.
