AEDs

The City of Hollywood plans to award a sole-source contract for the purchase of AEDs to be installed at lifeguard stands, with an anticipated cost of $60,500. This procurement is authorized under City Code Section 38.40 (C) (3), which allows negotiation and award without competitive bidding when a single source provider exists. In this case, Avive Solutions, Inc. is identified as the exclusive owner and sole provider of the required AEDs. Although the City has issued a Notice of Intent, any responses to it will only inform whether to pursue a competitive procurement later and will not be treated as official bids or proposals. The contract is managed by the Fire Rescue and Beach Safety department in Hollywood, Florida. Key contacts for the solicitation include April Allen, Payroll Manager, and Ginah Joseph, Senior Purchasing Agent. The solicitation was posted on February 18, 2026, and responses to the Notice of Intent must be submitted by February 25, 2026. This procurement is classified under the SLED (State, Local, and Education) organization type, and the purchase specifically addresses the safety needs of lifeguards through acquisition of AED equipment.
