SPTO Trailer Mounted Attenuator

The City of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County, Florida, is seeking qualified vendors to provide one FDOT/MASH approved SMT Truck Mounted Attenuator (specifically the 00SMTB SMT Trailer, MASH, TL-3, 100K, LED, Black model) for its Fleet Management department. This one-time procurement aims to enhance safety for city staff working on highways and roadways. The solicitation requires vendors to submit comprehensive cost proposals with two specific line items: the attenuator itself and its delivery. Vendors must be registered with the Florida Department of State and submit responses electronically through the city's online procurement portal. Key procurement dates include a deadline for questions on June 13, 2024, and a proposal submission deadline of June 20, 2024, at 3:00 pm. The city will evaluate and award the contract to the lowest and best responsive quote, with a focus on environmentally preferable purchasing and promoting health and non-discrimination in the procurement process.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must meet several critical requirements, including maintaining commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, commercial automobile liability insurance of $1 million, and workers' compensation insurance as mandated by Florida law. The contract includes provisions for termination by the city with 30 days' written notice and requires vendor compliance with Florida's E-Verify requirements and public records laws. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single trailer-mounted attenuator, suggesting a focused, targeted acquisition. The contract appears flexible, with potential for renewal only through explicit written consent from the City of St. Petersburg. Vendors will be expected to provide a high-quality safety device that meets FDOT and MASH safety standards, demonstrating technical capability and compliance with municipal procurement guidelines.
