Sole Source W/ Shower Tower

Brevard County's Parks and Recreation department is seeking to procure a specialized Shower Tower for heavy-duty outdoor use through a sole source procurement process. The procurement targets a unique outdoor shower system manufactured exclusively by Shower Tower Inc., designed for installation at beaches, parks, pools, and resorts. The proposed shower tower is constructed from a tough, nonporous polymer capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions including sun, salt, and water exposure. Key product specifications include stainless steel fittings, brass plumbing, self-closing valves, adjustable timing mechanisms, and vandalism-resistant design with up to 6 wash stations and a clean-up hose capability. The procurement notice will be posted on the Vendor Link platform from November 27, 2024, at 12:00 pm until December 4, 2024, at 12:00 pm, during which time potential respondents can submit alternative technical data if they believe they can meet or exceed the specified requirements. The county reserves the right to cancel the sole source intent and pursue a formal solicitation if comparable products are identified.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The total procurement value is $110,555.55 for a one-time purchase of the Shower Tower products. No incumbent vendors are mentioned beyond the sole source provider, Shower Tower Inc. The county has determined that alternative vendors like Most Dependable Fountains and Kay Park Recreation cannot meet their specific requirements due to limitations in product design and material construction. The product comes with a comprehensive 5-year warranty against cracking, rust, corrosion, fading, or breakage under normal use conditions. The primary contact for this procurement is Angel Dutton, reachable at (321) 617-7390 or angel.dutton@brevardfl.gov, located at 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C, Room 303, Viera, FL 32940. Vendor performance records from Hernando County, FL, and Smyrna Beach have been used to validate the product's capabilities and durability.
