Pensacola Beach Portable Toilets - Re-Solicit

Escambia County, Florida is seeking a vendor to provide portable toilet services for Pensacola Beach through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a 36-month contract with potential renewal for two additional 12-month periods. The procurement requires supplying approximately 16 portable toilet units, specifically 11 ADA-compliant units and 5 standard units, with comprehensive delivery, removal, and cleaning services. The cleaning schedule will vary seasonally, with twice-weekly cleaning during the off-peak season (November-February) and three times weekly during the peak season (March-October). Vendor qualifications include maintaining an office within 50 miles of Pensacola Beach, ability to respond to unit delivery or replacement within 24 hours, and holding a valid Florida Septic Permit. The bid response deadline is August 15, 2025, at 10:00 am, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for August 5, 2025, at 9:30 am via Microsoft Teams. Key evaluation criteria will likely include unit pricing, service responsiveness, and capability to meet the specified seasonal and location-specific service requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The vendor must provide comprehensive insurance coverage and be prepared to relocate units during county emergencies or severe weather events at their own expense. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the contract allows for flexible unit numbers and locations, suggesting potential for ongoing service adjustments. The vendor will be responsible for all unit maintenance, including repairs due to weather damage, wear and tear, or vandalism. Although specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive service requirements and multi-year contract structure indicate a potentially significant municipal services contract. The pricing structure will be based on per-unit, per-week costs for standard and ADA-compliant units during different seasonal periods, with potential for contract extensions up to a maximum of 60 months total.
