Statewide Surveying Equipment

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has issued a single-source procurement opportunity for statewide surveying equipment, as outlined in Section 287.057(5) of Florida Statutes, specifically targeting land surveying instruments for the FDOT Surveying and Mapping personnel. The procurement seeks one comprehensive set of surveying equipment for a one-year term, including a TS16 Total Station with Customer Care Packages, a 360 Degree Prism and Pole GS18T, CS20 LTE Disto Controller with accessories, and GNSS Poles. The primary objective is to upgrade existing GNSS equipment to enable improved 3-dimensional positioning activities using the Florida Permanent Reference Network (FPRN), with technological enhancements including tilt compensation, enhanced satellite constellation support, fixed-height tripods, and upgraded cellular communications capabilities. The solicitation was posted on September 2, 2025, with a final date for receipt of information set for September 23, 2025. Evaluation will focus on the vendor's ability to provide specialized surveying equipment that meets the specific technological requirements of the FDOT.

This procurement is a single-source contract specifically with Florida Level & Transit CO., Inc., as they are identified as the sole authorized distributor for Leica Geosystems' High-end Surveying segment within Florida. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly noted in the documentation. The estimated dollar amount for this procurement is $114,914.12, covering the comprehensive surveying equipment package. The contract appears to be limited to a one-year term and is geographically restricted to the state of Florida, with Leon County explicitly identified as the primary jurisdiction. The procurement does not indicate any requirements for disadvantaged enterprise participation or specific integration with existing infrastructure beyond the upgrade of current GNSS equipment. The technological specifications suggest a highly specialized procurement focused on precise surveying and mapping capabilities for state transportation infrastructure development and maintenance.
