Equestrian Center Electronic Gate

Escambia County's Parks and Recreation department is soliciting quotes for an electronic gate system to be installed at the Equestrian Center located at 7750 Mobile Highway in Pensacola, Florida. The procurement seeks a commercially graded swing arm gate with a maximum 1400hp rating for the existing eastern gate entrance, which includes specific requirements such as a remotely manageable keypad, an exit sensor for safety, and a concrete mounting pad for the keypad pedestal. Vendors must submit comprehensive quotes electronically through OpenGov Procurement by June 12, 2025, at 12:00 pm, with all questions due by June 9, 2025. Required submission materials include proof of Sunbiz registration, a W-9 form, technical specifications, and a certificate of insurance that meets Escambia County's standard requirements. Vendors must provide a complete pricing table covering both gate materials and installation costs, and confirm the validity of their submitted pricing. The solicitation emphasizes this is a written quote request, not a formal bid or solicitation, and requires vendors to provide a detailed proposal for the gate system and its installation.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract opportunity does not indicate any incumbent vendors or existing contractors for this specific gate installation project. While the documents do not specify a precise budget range, the requirement for a comprehensive quote suggests vendors should be prepared to provide a competitive pricing structure that includes both equipment and installation costs. The insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating $1,000,000 per occurrence for General Liability with a $2,000,000 annual aggregate, $1,000,000 for Business Auto Liability, and statutory Workers Compensation coverage. Insurers must have a minimum financial size of VIII with an "A" or better Best Rating, and contractors' policies must name Escambia County, Florida Board of County Commissioners as an additional insured. The procurement appears to be a straightforward infrastructure improvement project focused on enhancing access control and security at the county's Equestrian Center.
