Intent to single source one (1) ford f-550 with cues CCTV system

The City of Tampa Wastewater Department is pursuing a single-source procurement for one (1) Ford F-550 vehicle equipped with a Cues CCTV System for Fiscal Year 2025. This specialized procurement is being facilitated through Hillsborough County, Florida, with Ken Adams serving as the Specifications Officer. The procurement appears to be a direct purchase without competitive bidding, suggesting unique equipment specifications or vendor-specific capabilities that necessitate a non-competitive acquisition process. The vehicle is specifically designed for municipal infrastructure inspection and monitoring, with an integrated CCTV system that likely supports wastewater infrastructure assessment and diagnostic capabilities. The procurement documents indicate a structured acquisition process, with supporting documentation including approval letters, award letters, single-source certificates, and vendor quotes. While the exact submission deadline appears inconsistent (posted on Feb 17, 2025, with a due date of Jan 28, 2025), the procurement seems focused on obtaining a highly specialized vehicle with specific technological requirements.

No explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations were detailed in the provided documentation. The single-source nature of the procurement suggests a predetermined vendor or equipment specification that limits competitive bidding. While specific pricing details were not fully disclosed, the procurement appears targeted and specialized, indicating a focused budget allocation for a specific municipal infrastructure technology need. The procurement is specifically for the City of Tampa's Wastewater Department and seems to require vendor expertise in both vehicle manufacturing and specialized CCTV system integration. The documentation suggests a direct purchase approach, which implies the vendor may have proprietary technology or exclusive capabilities that justify the single-source procurement method. The acquisition appears to be part of the department's equipment modernization or replacement strategy, focusing on advanced technological solutions for infrastructure monitoring and assessment.
