Request for Information: Alimak Hek Elevators Repair, Maintenance, Retrofits, and Parts

Broward County, Florida is issuing a Request for Information to determine whether Alimak Hek industrial elevator repair, maintenance, retrofit, and parts services are available from multiple providers or whether a sole-source or sole-brand designation is justified, with responses due September 29, 2026. This is explicitly a market assessment, not a pricing request or purchase commitment.

The RFI concerns repair, maintenance, retrofit, and parts support for Alimak Hek industrial elevators installed on fourteen ship-to-shore container gantry cranes. Respondents must demonstrate sustained capability to deliver code-compliant repair and maintenance services, retrofit solutions, and manufacturer-backed parts continuity for the fourteen gantry crane elevators.

Prospective vendors may submit information demonstrating their capability to provide comparable commodities or services, or may contest the proposed sole-source designation with supporting documentation. All responses and supporting materials must be uploaded through the County's electronic bidding system. The Director of Purchasing holds sole authority in determining what constitutes a comparable offering and in making the final sole-source/sole-brand determination; this decision is not subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
