Intent to Single Source Eberle Design, Inc. (EDI) Conflict Monitors/Malfunction Management Units

The City of Tampa's Mobility Department is pursuing a single-source procurement for Eberle Design, Inc. (EDI) Conflict Monitors and Malfunction Management Units to be purchased through authorized distributor Control Technologies. This procurement is specifically for specialized traffic signal control cabinet equipment that is proprietary and uniquely compatible with the City's existing traffic infrastructure. The goods being procured include conflict monitors and malfunction management units designed for integration into traffic signal systems. Vendor qualifications include being an authorized manufacturer's distributor or dealer capable of providing the quoted product with warranty service and maintenance capabilities. The procurement requires vendors to submit documentation verifying authorization and provide comprehensive insurance documentation, including Commercial General Liability insurance with $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate limits, Automobile Liability insurance, Worker's Compensation, and Employer's Liability insurance. The procurement is specific to Hillsborough County, Florida, with the intent to single source document posted on December 10, 2025, which also serves as the due date for the opportunity.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations beyond the requirement of being an authorized EDI distributor. Control Technologies is identified as the primary authorized distributor for this procurement. The existing infrastructure involves traffic signal control cabinets that currently utilize EDI equipment, necessitating continued compatibility with these systems. Insurance requirements are stringent, with policies mandated to be placed with Florida-admitted insurers maintaining an A.M. Best rating of no less than A-:VII. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the documentation suggests the procurement is for ongoing maintenance and replacement of critical traffic management equipment. The single-source approach indicates a specialized procurement where competitive bidding is not deemed appropriate due to the unique technical requirements and existing infrastructure compatibility. The procurement covers warranty service, maintenance, and repair capabilities for the specified traffic signal management equipment.
