High-Speed Internet/Wi-Fi Access Points

The City of Riviera Beach Information Technology Department is seeking a qualified vendor to refresh and expand WiFi access in four municipal parks: Goodmark, Cunningham, Dan Calloway, and Sadie McCray. The procurement, identified as Solicitation No. 1167-ITB-25-3, involves removing 13 existing pole-mounted WiFi devices and installing 13 updated 5G-enabled WiFi devices, specifically Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G LTE Gateways with outdoor antenna enclosures, power supplies, and mounting equipment. The project requires comprehensive system management through a Peplink management portal, including fault monitoring, user consent portal management, device provisioning, and performance monitoring. Vendors must conduct on-site performance checks every 90 days and guarantee a response time of less than 72 hours for addressing issues. The bid is due on July 25, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with electronic submissions required through BidNet, and the contract term is one year with four potential one-year renewal options. Evaluation will likely focus on technical capabilities, proposed equipment specifications, implementation approach, and compliance with the detailed solicitation requirements.

The solicitation includes a 15% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal and offers a local vendor preference, providing a 5% advantage to businesses located within Riviera Beach city limits. Vendors must have a current city business tax receipt, certificate of occupancy, and a physical business location within city limits to qualify for local preference. The procurement includes specific insurance requirements, with vendors needing to provide commercial general liability, cyber liability, and workers' compensation coverage with defined minimum amounts. Potential bidders must complete a comprehensive set of required forms, including non-collusion affidavits, E-Verify compliance, and reference submissions for similar technology installation projects completed in Florida within the past three years. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves 13 WiFi access points with a minimum two-year Prime Care support included. The total contract value will depend on the proposed solution, with pricing to be submitted on the detailed Attachment B Cost Proposal Sheet. Notably, the city retains the right to select the most responsible and beneficial proposal, not necessarily the lowest-priced bid.
