Network GPS Receiver and Data Collector

The City of St. Petersburg is seeking quotes for the procurement of one Network GPS Receiver and Data Collector for surveying and mapping purposes. The solicitation requires a network GPS receiver compatible with real-time corrections from the Florida Permanent Reference Network, capable of L1/L2 static work, and a data collector that can export files in .csv, .raw, and .fbk formats. Vendors must have been in the business of providing surveying and mapping grade equipment for at least three years and meet specific insurance requirements. The city will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive vendor. Key dates include a deadline for questions on September 24, 2024, and a response deadline of September 30, 2024, at 3:00 pm. The successful vendor must supply the equipment within 30 days of contract execution and deliver it to the Municipal Services Center at One 4th St. North, St. Petersburg, FL 33701. The current equipment being replaced is a Spectra SP 60 and Ranger 7 with Survey Pro, which has been experiencing hardware and software issues that impact productivity.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned. The procurement requires vendors to maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, commercial automobile liability insurance of $1 million, and workers' compensation insurance as required by Florida law. The city reserves the right to terminate the agreement with 30 days' notice and requires strict compliance with public records laws. While a specific budget range is not provided, the solicitation includes two line items for pricing: the network receiver and data collector, and delivery to the specified location. The agreement is governed by Florida law, with any legal actions to be venue in Pinellas County. The contract includes provisions for confidentiality and potential retroactive effectiveness depending on the date of initial performance.
