Installation of Security Upgrades at FDOT Pinellas Operations Administration Building

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is seeking a single-source procurement for security system upgrades at the Pinellas Operations Administration Building, located in Hillsborough County. The project involves installing and integrating new security camera equipment with an existing surveillance system, specifically requiring ten cameras with various configurations including 360-degree and 180-degree panoramic cameras with high-resolution capabilities. The comprehensive procurement includes supplying an industrial 26-port managed network switch, Siveillance video management system software with eight device licenses, fiber optic cables, surge protectors, mounting hardware, and associated connective components. Vendor responsibilities encompass providing all materials, labor, engineering drawings, permits, and obtaining necessary documentation while ensuring compliance with governmental regulations and manufacturer specifications. The procurement is posted from December 12, 2025, with a response deadline of January 12, 2026 at 12:00 PM, and requires the vendor to maintain site safety, prevent property damage, manage debris, and provide minimum two-year warranties from final system acceptance.

The procurement is specifically designated as a single-source opportunity with Siemens Industry, Inc. identified as the sole authorized vendor due to the proprietary nature of their SiPass Integrated Access Control and Siveilance Video Management System. The estimated contract value is $55,997.00, and Siemens maintains exclusive authorization for installation, programming, servicing, maintenance, licensing, warranties, and software updates for this specialized security infrastructure. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses are mentioned in the documentation. The existing system infrastructure requires precise integration of new components, with Siemens being the only permitted vendor capable of implementing these upgrades. The procurement follows Florida Statutes Section 287.057(3)(c), which mandates a minimum 15-business-day posting to allow potential vendors to demonstrate their capability to supply the specified commodities and services. The primary procurement contact is Lori Vicari, located at 11201 N. McKinley Drive, Tampa, FL, with contact information provided for potential inquiries.
