Intent to Single Source- GameTime

Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa are pursuing a single-source procurement for GameTime park and playground equipment replacement parts and components through Dominica Recreation Products. This Intent to Single Source (ISS) opportunity specifically authorizes the purchase of genuine GameTime manufactured parts that are critical for maintaining existing playground equipment. Prospective bidders must be authorized manufacturer's distributors or dealers capable of providing quotations, warranty service, maintenance, and repairs for the specified products. The procurement requires vendors to demonstrate their status as an authorized GameTime distributor and submit comprehensive documentation verifying their capabilities. Vendor qualifications include maintaining insurance coverage, specifically Commercial General Liability insurance with $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate limits, Automobile Liability insurance of $500,000, and Worker's Compensation insurance as mandated by Florida law. The procurement window is narrow, with the intent posted on November 24, 2025, and responses due by November 27, 2025. All insurance must be placed with Florida-admitted insurers maintaining an A.M. Best rating of no less than A-:VII, with the City of Tampa named as an additional insured on liability coverage.

The single-source opportunity is exclusively available to Dominica Recreation Products as the sole authorized distributor for GameTime equipment in the state of Florida, effectively restricting competitive bidding. No specific information is provided regarding set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. The procurement focuses on ensuring compatibility and safety of playground equipment by allowing only authorized manufacturers and distributors to provide replacement parts. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the documentation, the procurement is designed to address ongoing maintenance and replacement needs for existing GameTime playground infrastructure. The single-source certification emphasizes the technical and functional incompatibility of non-GameTime parts, which justifies the direct purchasing approach. Vendors must provide insurance certificates prior to commencing work and maintain 30-day cancellation notice provisions. The opportunity represents a targeted procurement strategy to maintain the integrity and safety of existing playground equipment through authorized, genuine replacement components.
