The quoted cost from Volition Controls Corp. is $8,278.00 for equipment, with freight costs to be determined, against a 12-month cost estimate of $15,000. Payment terms are NET 30 and the quote is valid for 60 days from May 5, 2026. A flat $150.00 fee applies for certificates of conformity or Material Test Reports. The procurement is subject to approval contingent upon compliance with City of Tampa purchasing policies, legal sufficiency, and insurance requirements.
