Intent to Single Source For One (1) Mobile Dustless Blaster

The City of Tampa's Mobility Department intends to single-source procure one mobile Dustless Blaster from MMJL, Inc., located in Houston, Texas, for the purpose of supporting the Mayor's Vision Zero program. The specific equipment, a DB500 Mobile S - Performance Edition, will be used primarily to remove pavement markings and change striping patterns, with additional capabilities for barnacle removal from bridge operation barges, graffiti removal, and rust removal from bridges and equipment. The procurement is specifically targeted at a unique piece of equipment for which MMJL, Inc. is the sole manufacturer, with the quote dated February 11, 2025, and valid until February 28, 2025. The vendor must be an authorized manufacturer's distributor or dealer capable of providing the product, warranty service, maintenance, and repairs. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including Commercial General Liability Insurance with $1M per occurrence and $2M general aggregate limits, and the vendor must provide a Certificate of Insurance with specific endorsements. The posted date for this opportunity was March 11, 2025, with a stated due date of March 5, 2025, which appears to be a temporal inconsistency in the original documentation.

This procurement opportunity does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or specific restrictions on responding organizations. The single-source nature of the procurement indicates that MMJL, Inc. is the only qualified vendor for this specific equipment. The total quoted price for the mobile Dustless Blaster is $59,295.00, which represents the complete budget for this procurement. The equipment will be utilized across Hillsborough County, specifically by the City of Tampa's Mobility Department, and supports multiple operational needs including road maintenance, infrastructure cleaning, and graffiti mitigation. The procurement is subject to the City of Tampa Florida Standard Purchase Order Terms & Conditions, and the vendor must demonstrate full compliance with the specified insurance and operational requirements. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement appears to be for a new piece of specialized equipment to enhance the city's operational capabilities.
