This procurement does not establish mandatory set-asides or minimum participation thresholds for small business enterprises (SBE), women-owned businesses (WBE), veteran-owned businesses, or minority-owned businesses (MBE); however, the City encourages voluntary participation and engagement with underrepresented business categories located in the Tampa Bay Region through a Subcontractor Utilization Plan that allows proposers to demonstrate outreach and mentorship initiatives without penalty for reporting zero participation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. Vendors must maintain clear title to all goods, comply with the Local Government Prompt Payment Act for invoice processing with payment due within twenty business days of the City's acceptance of goods, and are subject to inspection within ten business days of delivery with the right of rejection and correction at vendor expense. A public construction bond equal to the full contract amount is required and must remain in effect for at least one year beyond final completion, and the City retains the right to terminate the agreement at any time for convenience upon thirty days' written notice or immediately for default related to safety, indemnification, or insurance coverage. The specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the posted solicitation documents; however, pricing will be evaluated based on vendor cost proposals for the two units and delivery costs submitted in response to the quote request.
