Vertiv Liebert UPS

The City of Pembroke Pines is seeking competitive quotes for the procurement of Vertiv Liebert Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to replace end-of-life backup power equipment in the City Center IT communication closets. The specific deliverables consist of eight (8) Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion N Online UPS units (3000VA/2700W, 120V Rack/Tower, Part #GXT5LI-3000LVRT2UXLN) and eight (8) corresponding external battery cabinets (48V, Part #VEBCLI-48VRT1U), which will provide temporary backup power to ensure operational continuity until generator power engages during outages. The solicitation was issued on April 30, 2026, with written questions due by May 5, 2026, final answers issued on May 7, 2026, and bid submissions required by May 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. via the City's OpenGov e-Procurement portal. Vendors must submit pricing electronically through the designated bid table, with no pre-bid meeting scheduled. Products shall be delivered within 30 calendar days of purchase order issuance. No proposal security, bid bond, payment bond, or performance bond is required for this procurement. Prospective vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage prior to commencing work, including general liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence), workers' compensation, auto liability, umbrella/excess liability ($2,000,000), professional liability/errors and omissions ($1,000,000), and cyber liability ($1,000,000), with the City named as an additional insured on all liability policies.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information. However, Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act compliance requirements may apply if HUD funding is involved, requiring contractors on projects exceeding $200,000 to meet minimum numeric goals of 25 percent Section 3 worker hours and 5 percent targeted Section 3 worker hours, though this procurement does not indicate federal funding applicability. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and labor standards provisions are referenced in the supporting documents, suggesting potential applicability depending on project funding sources, which would impose wage rate floors and certified payroll reporting obligations on contractors. Vendors must be registered with the City of Pembroke Pines through the PaymentWorks vendor management system to receive payment, with invitations extended only to vendors under active consideration for award. The solicitation does not specify a listed incumbent vendor, award value, or budget range, leaving pricing to be determined through the competitive quote process. All vendors must file certificates of insurance with the City's Risk Manager prior to work commencement as a condition of contract performance.
