Radar Feedback Signs for Legacy Trail

Sarasota County is seeking quotes for a turnkey project to supply and install six solar-powered speed radar feedback signs along the Legacy Trail. The solicitation, issued as an Invitation for Quotes (IFQ), requires vendors to provide Carmanah SpeedCheck-15/18 radar signs or an approved equivalent, complete with solar components, mounting hardware, and poles. Offerors must possess a Sign Specialty Electrical Contractor's license and provide two references demonstrating traffic-related sign installation experience. The signs will be installed at predetermined locations identified by the County, with specific requirements for work hours, site access, and a 15 mph speed limit for personnel and equipment. Quotes must be submitted through the OpenGov Procurement portal by September 30, 2025, with the County intending to award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Potential vendors are encouraged to register on the OpenGov Procurement platform and can submit questions through the platform's Q&A system. The project is funded through a grant, which impacts certain procurement considerations.

The solicitation does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and local or American business preferences will not apply due to grant funding requirements. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Business Automobile Liability. The maximum quote threshold is set at $150,000 per project or contract year, with pricing to include all trip charges, mileage, and labor costs. The project includes a one-year warranty period from the County's acceptance of work, or the standard manufacturer warranty, whichever is greater. Vendors must comply with additional requirements outlined in the Grant Funded Procurement Terms and Conditions, including provisions related to the Build America, Buy America Act and attestations regarding human trafficking. The total project budget appears to be within the $150,000 range, with specific pricing to be determined through the competitive quote process. Contractors will be responsible for all permits, site restoration, and coordination with County representatives throughout the project implementation.
