Football Scoreboards

The City of St. Petersburg is seeking quotes from qualified vendors to purchase two remote wireless digital football scoreboards for replacement after damage from Hurricane Milton. The scoreboards must be aluminum construction, measuring 16 ft x 8 ft, with a royal blue face color and white accent striping/lettering, including mounting hardware for permanent installation. Vendors must meet specific minimum qualifications, including being in the scoreboard business for at least five years, providing a five-year warranty, and demonstrating the ability to obtain required insurance. The solicitation was released on April 15, 2025, with questions due by April 21, 2025, and final proposals due on April 24, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The scoreboards will be delivered to 1680 15th Ave North, and the City will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive vendor, reserving the right to reject any or all proposals.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including $1 million in commercial general liability, $1 million in commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation as required by Florida law. The contract includes provisions for potential termination with 30 days' notice and requires vendor compliance with various state and local regulations, including non-discrimination, environmentally preferable purchasing, and E-Verify requirements. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation requires a detailed cost proposal with line items for the scoreboards and delivery. The agreement will be governed by Florida law, with venue established in Pinellas County, and contains provisions for potential retroactive effectiveness depending on the vendor's initial performance date.
