YSI IQ SensorNet Monitoring Equipment, Products and Service

Sarasota County is conducting a sole source procurement for YSI IQ SensorNet OEM monitoring equipment, products, and services through Solicitation Number 2024-ISS-321. The procurement specifically targets wireless monitoring equipment for utility tanks, including detection electrodes, digital probes, and radio telemetry module units used at utility treatment plants to detect chemical levels. The county intends to renew its contract with CL2 Solutions, LLC, which is identified as the exclusive authorized representative of YSI for specialty products in Florida's municipal and industrial wastewater and drinking water markets. The solicitation was released on October 22, 2024, with questions due by October 23, 2024, and final responses required electronically through https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/scgov by October 24, 2024, at 5:00 pm. While the procurement is currently structured as a sole source opportunity, the county allows alternative vendors to challenge this status by submitting an Intent to Sole Source Response form with supporting documentation demonstrating equivalent product or service capabilities.

The procurement is open to all vendors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation. CL2 Solutions, LLC is the incumbent vendor and current exclusive provider for these monitoring systems across Sarasota County's utility treatment plants. The existing infrastructure consists of YSI sensors, docks, and ancillary equipment already integrated at various sites. The contract is structured for a three-year period from 11/17/2024 to 11/16/2027, with an estimated annual expenditure of $150,000, not to exceed that amount per fiscal year. The total potential contract value over the three-year term would be approximately $450,000. The procurement is subject to various compliance requirements, including E-Verify participation, public records laws, and restrictions on contracting with certain scrutinized companies. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to provide comprehensive monitoring equipment, installation services, and ongoing technical support for the YSI IQ SensorNet system.
