Purchase of 1740 Regular Cut Work Table, 13' 1" x 5" 8"

Sarasota County is seeking quotes for the purchase of a CWT 1740 Regular Cut Work Table, a specialized piece of equipment designed for sign shops, commercial print facilities, and trade shows. The procurement solicits a pneumatic flatbed applicator with specific dimensions of 5' 8" x 12', featuring an actual working area of 11' 7" and a roller width of 5' 5". The table is intended to replace an existing 1640 model and will enable precise material positioning for transferring, laminating, layout, and cutting operations. The comprehensive procurement includes additional components such as a Cutting Mat, Compressor, Long Reach knife, Sticky Roller, and Sticky Pad, along with a product warranty. The solicitation was released on May 12, 2025, with a response deadline of May 15, 2025, at 2:30 pm, requiring electronic submission through the county's procurement portal. The county will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest total bid price, with a strict quote threshold of $50,000. No training or installation is required, and delivery is specified to the Sarasota County Operations Center Warehouse before 3:30 p.m., with Free on Board (FOB) pricing included in the bid.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. The solicitation requires all products to be new and of the most current version, with no used or refurbished items accepted. Bidders must submit references demonstrating experience with similar products through the OpenGov Procurement system. The successful vendor will be required to provide a Certificate of Insurance and comply with the General Terms and Conditions of Purchase Orders. The warranty will cover the product for one year from the county's acceptance date or the standard manufacturer's warranty, whichever is longer. While no specific budget range is detailed, the $50,000 quote threshold suggests the maximum anticipated value for this procurement. The county reserves the right to cancel the Quick Quote and re-solicit using another procurement method if no responsive quotes are received, with Lisa Cece from the Public Works department serving as the Contracts Supervisor overseeing the solicitation.
