About this opportunity

The City of Fort Myers is issuing a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source to Sunbelt, LLC for parts, repairs, and service for Heil sanitation truck bodies under Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c), with a notice period closing September 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (ET). This is not a formal solicitation; no submissions are required, and responses will not be treated as proposals or bids. The sole-source justification is that use of any supplier other than Sunbelt, LLC would void the manufacturer's warranty on the equipment.

Competing suppliers who believe they can provide equivalent products or services may submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities through the online bidding system at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/cityftmyers by the September 7 deadline to request consideration for a competitive procurement. The notice period remains active for fifteen calendar days from the August 20 posting date. All responses submitted during the notice window will be evaluated solely to determine whether the City should conduct a competitive procurement rather than proceed with the sole-source award.

The City intends to use the NO VALUE Procurement method to contract with Sunbelt, LLC. No contract value is disclosed. The contact is Kirk Zimmerman, Senior Procurement Specialist, City of Fort Myers Procurement Services, at (239) 321-7241 or kzimmerman@fortmyers.gov.
