Recycled Plastic Factory Picnic Tables

Sarasota County is seeking competitive quotes for a procurement of recycled plastic picnic tables for Twin Lakes Park through a Quick Quote (QQ) solicitation. The county requires 12 standard 8-foot Deluxe Walk-Thru Picnic Tables and 4 ADA-compliant 8-foot Deluxe Walk-Thru Picnic Tables, all manufactured by Recycled Plastic Factory and specified in Grey on Grey coloration. These tables must be new, meet current product specifications, and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The delivery location is Twin Lakes Park at 6700 Clark Road, Sarasota, FL, with a required delivery deadline of September 30, 2024. Potential vendors must submit references demonstrating experience with similar products and provide comprehensive documentation. The evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, responsibility, and the lowest total bid price, with a maximum quote threshold of $50,000. Key dates include a deadline for questions on July 19, 2024, and a response deadline of July 22, 2024, at 2:30 pm, with all submissions to be made electronically through the ProcureNow portal.

The procurement opportunity appears to have a focus on sustainability, as the Recycled Plastic Factory is a State of Florida Certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and a USGBC member, with tables made from 98% recycled plastic. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly stated, the county seems to value environmentally responsible vendors. The solicitation allows for potential quantity extensions, with the county able to purchase additional quantities at the quoted unit price within 30 days of award and potentially extend unit pricing for up to one year if the vendor agrees. The county reserves the right to cancel the Quick Quote and re-solicit using another procurement method if no responsive quotes are received. The tables come with a one-year warranty from acceptance or the manufacturer's standard warranty period, whichever is longer. Post-delivery inspection will be conducted to ensure product acceptability, and the bidder's fee must be inclusive of all costs, including delivery, with no additional fees to be paid by the county.
