Intent to Single Source - Speedtronics Replacement Gearboxes

The City of Tampa is pursuing a single-source procurement for Speedtronics replacement gearboxes and parts specifically related to Foot-Jones gearboxes for its Wastewater department. This intent to single source contract requires prospective bidders to be authorized manufacturers' distributors or dealers capable of providing quoted products along with comprehensive warranty service, maintenance, and repair capabilities.

Vendors are required to submit their responses through the City of Tampa's online supplier portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/cityoftampa. Interested vendors must confirm their ability to provide the requested goods and services and provide documentation verifying their authorized vendor status.

The procurement requires stringent insurance requirements for potential vendors, mandating Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker's Compensation, and Excess Umbrella Liability coverage with specific minimum limits based on contract value. All insurance must be placed with Florida-admitted carriers holding an A.M. Best rating of at least A-:VII, and the City of Tampa must be named as an additional insured on all liability policies.

The procurement appears focused on direct replacement of specific gearbox equipment for municipal wastewater infrastructure. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements were explicitly mentioned in the available documentation.
