Englewood Streetlight Pole Fall/Winter Banners

Sarasota County is seeking a vendor to provide 80 streetlight pole banners for the Englewood Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), specifically requesting 16 unique designs with 5 banners per design. The banners must measure 33 inches x 61.25 inches vertically, be printed on both front and back, constructed from 18 oz vinyl banner material, and include 3-inch pole pockets for installation. The procurement is a Quick Quote (QQ) solicitation released on September 13, 2024, with a deadline for questions on September 18, 2024, and bid responses due by September 19, 2024, at 10:00 am through the ProcureNow portal. Bidders are required to submit references demonstrating experience, comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and provide potential alternate products for county approval. The evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and the lowest total bid price, with the successful bidder expected to deliver the banners by October 2, 2024, to 370 West Dearborn Street, Suite D, Englewood, FL.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The county reserves the right to purchase additional quantities at the quoted unit price within 30 days of the award, and potentially for up to one year if the vendor is willing to honor the initial pricing. The solicitation has a maximum budget threshold of $50,000, and the awarded vendor will be responsible for minimal disruption during delivery, property damage restoration, and providing a one-year warranty or the standard manufacturer's warranty, whichever is longer. Bidders must submit all documentation through OpenGov Procurement with no additional costs beyond the initial bid fee. The county maintains the right to request clarifications or additional information from offerors and will require vendors to comply with employment eligibility verification, public records compliance, and specific statutes related to vendor qualifications and contracting restrictions.
