Walter Fuller Basketball Backboard and Winch Upgrade

The City of St. Petersburg is seeking quotes for Quote 25-023, a procurement opportunity for the Walter Fuller Recreation Center Gymnasium located at 7891 26th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33710. The project involves removing and disposing of two existing basketball backboards, goals, and manual winches, followed by the delivery and installation of two 48x72 non-breakable glass backboards, two royal blue bolt-on backboard pads, two breakaway rims, two manual height adjusters, two SBBW 4-1 Lynrus electric winches, and two LRKS-23 single gang key switches. Vendors must be registered with the Florida Department of State, possess at least three years of experience providing basketball equipment, and meet specific insurance requirements including $1 million in commercial general liability and commercial automobile liability, plus workers' compensation coverage. The procurement timeline includes a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on December 3, 2024, at 1:00 pm, with questions due by December 5, 2024, at 12:00 pm, and proposal submissions required by December 10, 2024, at 3:00 pm. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive vendor, with the option to reject any or all proposals.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, nor does it indicate any preference for disadvantaged enterprises. One vendor, Athletic Resources, Inc., has already submitted a proposal for $12,500.00, which includes the complete equipment replacement scope. The project appears to be a standard municipal facilities upgrade without complex integration requirements or specific technology constraints. While the exact budget range is not explicitly defined, the vendor proposal suggests the total project cost is approximately $12,500.00. The contract includes standard municipal terms such as a 30-day termination clause, requirements for maintaining detailed records, and compliance with federal, state, and local statutes. Payment terms will likely be determined through negotiation, with the potential for credit approval and standard municipal payment schedules.
