Utilities - GMDS - Purchase of Laymore SM-300 Ride-On Sweeper - SP2947

Pinellas County Utilities General Maintenance Division (GMDS) is seeking to procure a Laymore SM-300 Ride-On Sweeper or equivalent through Invitation to Quote (ITQ) #25-0215-ITQ. The procurement is specifically for one street sweeper critical to daily maintenance operations, with detailed technical specifications including a minimum 24.8 hp diesel engine, 8-foot brush with float, 60-gallon water system, pintle hook, and a minimum one-year warranty. The equipment will be delivered to the County's Fleet location at 9685 Ulmerton Road in Largo, Florida 33771. The proposal submission deadline is December 31, 2024, at 3:00 pm, with the solicitation originally issued on December 19, 2024. Vendors must submit pricing on a provided proposal form and be registered with the Florida Division of Corporations. Electronic submissions are required through the OpenGov procurement portal, and vendors must provide line-item pricing for the sweeper and associated shipping costs.

The county has implemented a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program that provides preference to certified small businesses, offering potential award advantages for quotes between $5,000 and $100,000. Asphalt Care Equipment & Supplies has already submitted a quote for $33,215.00, which includes $30,950.00 for the sweeper and $2,265.00 for shipping, with a 10-day validity period from December 3, 2024. The procurement process appears to have a non-competitive oversight component, as evidenced by the Non-Competitive Oversight Committee Justification Form, which suggests potential sole-source or limited-competition procurement. No specific insurance requirements were identified for this goods-only procurement, and the process will be considered complete upon delivery and acceptance of the equipment by the county representative. The total budget appears to be in the range of $33,215.00, with the procurement targeting a specific street sweeper model essential for the Utilities Maintenance Division's operational needs.
