About this opportunity

The City of Altamonte Springs has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ-25-012-GR) for annual greenhouse growing supplies to be procured on an as-needed basis by the Leisure Services Department. The solicitation covers 16 specific line items including horticultural supplies such as injection molded azalea pots, potting soil, fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and potting trays. The initial contract period is one year with options for four additional one-year renewals, with deliveries to be made between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm Monday through Friday. Bidders must meet specific qualifications, including being registered with E-Verify, not appearing on prohibited companies lists, being in business for at least three years, and providing proof of insurance. The RFQ requires all-inclusive unit prices with no hidden fees, and prices shall remain firm throughout the contract term. The solicitation was due on February 4, 2025, at 11:00 am, with the City reserving the right to award the contract based on the most advantageous bid considering factors such as pricing, product quality, and vendor responsibility.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Two vendors submitted completed RFQ forms, with BWI Companies, Inc. ultimately selected as the recommended vendor with a total submittal amount of $25,966.57. The contract allows for a comprehensive approach, with the City reserving the right to purchase any, all, or none of its requirements from the awarded bidder. Shipping prices will be determined at the time of order, with expedited or pass-through shipping charges allowed only with prior written authorization. The City is tax-exempt and will pay invoices within 30 days of delivery and acceptance. The bid form includes a unique "Balance of Line" discount option, allowing vendors to provide a percentage discount (0-100%) for miscellaneous items not specifically listed in the primary line items. The total budget for this annual contract appears to be approximately $25,966.57, with potential for additional purchases through the balance of line discount provision.
