Onicon Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Broward County's Aviation Department is seeking a one-time procurement of an Onicon FP-4400 Portable Clamp Ultrasonic Flow Meter for the Maintenance Division at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The specific procurement requires a flow meter capable of measuring pipe sizes from 0.5" to 48", compatible with metal and plastic pipes, and suitable for HVAC, chilled water, and potable water systems. Vendors must be either manufacturers or manufacturer-authorized dealers, and provide a mandatory three-year manufacturer's warranty covering material and workmanship defects. The delivery requirements are strict, mandating delivery within 14 business days after receiving the purchase order, with drop-off limited to Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., excluding county holidays, at the BCAD Maintenance Warehouse in Fort Lauderdale. The county retains sole authority to approve the product based on published literature and technical specifications, and installation services are explicitly not included in this solicitation. The response deadline is November 4, 2025, with electronic invoicing required to AVMinvoices@broward.org.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, though vendors must complete a comprehensive Vendor Questionnaire that includes non-collusion verification, drug-free workplace certification, and conflict of interest disclosures. Potential vendors must provide detailed company information, including legal business name, federal identification number, and authorized contacts. While a specific award value is not disclosed, vendors must be prepared to provide pricing with freight included and FOB destination terms. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating coverage in multiple liability categories with Broward County listed as a certificate holder and additional insured. Vendors must also comply with security requirements, which may involve background screenings and obtaining county-issued identification badges depending on facility access needs. The procurement is subject to Broward County's standard procurement codes and evaluation criteria, which focus on identifying the lowest responsive and responsible bidder without consideration of social, political, or ideological factors.
