Elevator Services (City Wide)

The City of Sanford, Florida has issued an Informal Request for Quote (IRFQ-24/25-302) for comprehensive Elevator Services across city-wide facilities, seeking a qualified contractor to maintain and service four elevators located at City Hall, Public Safety Complex, and the Jeff Triplett Center. The procurement involves a one-year contract with potential for four additional one-year renewals, not exceeding a total of five years. The successful bidder will be responsible for monthly maintenance visits, emergency callback services, annual state inspections, and comprehensive maintenance including examination, adjustment, cleaning, lubrication, and repair of elevator components to meet or exceed manufacturer standards. Bid responses were due on January 16, 2025 at 2:00 P.M. local time, with three vendors submitting proposals: Skyline Elevator, Orlando Elevator, and TK Elevators. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, with specific consideration of overhead costs, material expenses, and regular business hour service rates. Contractors must provide proof of various insurance coverages, complete inspection statements, and submit required documentation including state licensing, W-9, and business tax receipts.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Skyline Elevator was ultimately selected as the apparent successful bidder, with contract values ranging between $2,704 and $6,555 based on the bid tabulation. The contract includes provisions for potential annual Consumer Price Index adjustments to pricing. Annual maintenance contract amounts varied from $1,680 to $4,128, with hourly rates for regular business hours between $225 and $409, and holiday/emergency/weekend service call charges ranging from $384 to $818. Material and parts markup percentages span 10-30%, with overhead and profit markup ranging from 0-40%. The City of Sanford maintains the right to revoke the award if the selected vendor fails to negotiate and execute the agreement, with the option to proceed with the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The contract will be governed by Florida law, with any legal proceedings to be handled in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit Court in Seminole County, Florida.
