The City of St. Petersburg, Florida, located in Pinellas County, is seeking competitive quotes for the procurement of two Toro Groundsmaster Rotary Mowers 3200 2WD, Model #31900A, with no substitutions permitted. The equipment is intended to replace two existing 2010 Toro Groundmaster mowers and will be used for mowing putting surfaces at Mangrove Bay Golf Course, located at 875 62nd Avenue NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33702-7619. Each unit shall be equipped with a Toro mechanical suspension seat, a 42-pound weight kit, and a 72-inch side discharge deck. The specified equipment features a 24.7-horsepower Yanmar three-cylinder diesel engine with 2WD parallel hydraulic traction, ground speeds up to 12.5 miles per hour forward and 5.5 miles per hour reverse, adjustable cutting heights from 1 to 6 inches, and a two-year limited warranty (or 1,500-hour warranty, whichever occurs first). Qualified vendors must demonstrate a minimum of three years' experience providing commercial turf equipment and must be registered with the Florida Division of Corporations. The solicitation was posted on March 23, 2026, with a deadline for questions on March 26, 2026, and proposal responses due on April 2, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. via the OpenGov Procurement portal. Equipment delivery must occur within four months of purchase order receipt, and the City will award the contract to a single vendor.

The procurement does not establish mandatory set-asides for small business enterprises, women business enterprises, veteran-owned businesses, or minority business enterprises; however, vendors are encouraged to engage these business categories as subcontractors through a voluntary Subcontractor Utilization Plan with no minimum participation thresholds required. Vendors must comply with all applicable Florida laws, including public records requirements, and are prohibited from utilizing subcontractors, with all work to be completed directly by the vendor through a single dedicated account manager. Required insurance coverage includes commercial general liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, commercial automobile liability of $1,000,000, and workers' compensation insurance as required by Florida law. The vendor must deliver goods with clear title and free of all liens, and the City reserves the right to terminate the agreement for convenience upon thirty days' written notice or for default after a thirty-day cure period. Based on the submitted quote from Wesco Turf, Inc., the anticipated procurement value is approximately $51,403.04 for the two complete mower systems including all specified accessories.
