Digital Marquee

The City of St. Petersburg is seeking qualified vendors to procure and install a new digital marquee for Frank Pierce Recreation Center located at 2000 7th Street South. The procurement involves removing the existing marquee and furnishing a new double-sided LED digital marquee with specific dimensions: approximately 10-12 feet in total height and a display area of 8 feet by 5 feet. Key deliverables include the marquee system, complete installation, comprehensive training for site supervisors, and ensuring the system is accessible via computer or phone. The solicitation requires vendors to provide all necessary labor, materials, and tools for the project. Critical procurement dates include a project release on July 24, 2024, a deadline for question submissions on July 30, 2024 at 12:00 pm, and a proposal submission deadline of August 5, 2024 at 3:00 pm. The city will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive vendor, with proposals remaining valid for 90 days after the submission deadline.

The procurement includes provisions for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation, though the specific percentage requirement is not detailed in the documents. Vendors must meet substantial insurance requirements, including $1 million in commercial general liability and commercial automobile liability, and comply with workers' compensation regulations. All employees and subcontractors must undergo Level 2 background screenings in accordance with Florida Statute Section 435.04. While a specific budget is not explicitly stated, a related quote from Stewart Signs indicates a potential project cost around $481,933 for similar digital signage installations. The procurement documents reference a TIPS Contract #22010201, suggesting potential cooperative purchasing opportunities. Additional requirements include compliance with E-Verify, non-discrimination policies, and environmental purchasing guidelines. The selected vendor must complete the marquee installation within 60 days of the executed agreement and provide a warranty for the equipment.
