Dodge Taper Bushed Reducer Gearbox and Taper Bushing Kits

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners is issuing an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) for a one-time purchase of specialized industrial equipment consisting of two Dodge Torque-Arm II heavy duty single and double reduction speed reducers (part number TA731H25-907001) and four Dodge taper bushing kits (part number 907019, Bushing Size: TA7315TB X 4-7/16 inch). The procurement is restricted to these exact specifications with no substitutes accepted due to compatibility requirements with the existing system. Deliverables must be shipped to the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility located at 11005 Dale Stitik Road, Tampa, Florida 33626, with delivery required no later than 30 days after the contractor receives a purchase order; delivery must occur between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding County holidays, and the delivery vehicle must be capable of offloading materials without use of a loading dock. The solicitation deadline is May 8, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with bids submitted exclusively through the County's electronic bidding system (Euna Procurement). Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with a single bidder selected for all line items; bidders must submit offers on all line items to be eligible for award. Bid prices must include all freight charges and delivery costs with no separate sales or federal excise taxes included, as Hillsborough County is tax-exempt, and offers must remain valid for a minimum of 90 days after the close date. All bidders must comply with E-Verify requirements, non-discrimination laws, demonstrate responsible vendor status, and complete required compliance documentation including a Drug-Free Workplace Certification Form, Substitute W-9 Form for tax identification purposes, and optionally a Direct Deposit Authorization Form for electronic payment processing.

There are no designated set-asides or restrictions limiting responses based on business classification or disadvantaged enterprise status. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The procurement does not reference any existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements beyond compatibility with the current system already in place at the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility. The project estimate is $30,400.00, which represents the anticipated budget range for this one-time purchase. This ITQ is below the County's formal bid limit of $50,000, and therefore the Cone of Silence does not apply to this procurement. The County reserves the right to reject any and all bids submitted in response to this solicitation.
