Notice of intent to single source ETR vehicles LLC

Collier County Board of County Commissioners is issuing a notice of intent to single source ETR VEHICLES LLC for factory-authorized parts, services, and accessories to maintain and repair ambulances and other public safety vehicles, with objections due June 30, 2026. The single-source designation rests on ETR VEHICLES LLC's exclusive authorization as the vendor for Horton Emergency Vehicles, a decision-flipping constraint that eliminates competitive procurement if approved.

The scope encompasses factory-authorized parts and accessories for Horton ambulances and public safety vehicles; factory-authorized repair services including transportation, re-mounting, refurbishing, and collision repairs beyond internal county capacity; warranty repairs with potential partial payment for non-covered miscellaneous items; and software updates and control system programming for Horton ambulance body on-board control modules, emergency lighting systems, and other body configurations. Freight charges apply to items requiring transportation based on size or weight.

Under Collier County Procurement Ordinance 25-34, Section Twelve, single-source procurement is permissible where commodities or services are available from only one source or where use of that source is both economically and operationally advantageous. The contract term would run five years, from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. No specific contract value is stated in the notice.

Interested parties who believe other qualified sources exist must submit written documentation to the Collier County Procurement Services Division demonstrating the availability of alternative sources prior to the June 30, 2026 deadline. All responses must be submitted through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System. Contact: Radoslava Edreva, Assistant Director of Procurement Services Division, (239) 252-8473 or radoslava.edreva@collier.gov.
