Bicycle Racks

The City of St. Petersburg, Florida, is soliciting bids for the supply of 110 staple-style inverted U-shaped bicycle racks to support its Bike Share Program, with additional units available on an as-needed basis under a contract that includes two one-year renewal options. The racks must comply with specific technical specifications including a 30-inch width, 36-inch height, construction from 2-inch square tube, black powder-coated finish, and surface-mount tamper-resistant fasteners per the APBP Bike Parking Guidelines. Delivery is required at a designated location in St. Petersburg with all components and documentation, and installation is explicitly excluded. The contract operates under FOB Destination terms with freight included, and the vendor is responsible for ensuring undamaged, complete delivery. The City will inspect and accept goods at the delivery point within ten business days, based on conformance to specifications, absence of defects, and fitness for purpose. The solicitation requires vendors to demonstrate corporate registration, insurance compliance, contract capability, proper licensing, and strict adherence to non-negotiable terms including indemnification, insurance coverage, governing law, dispute resolution, and waiver prohibitions. Vendors must affirm E-Verify compliance, certify against involvement with foreign countries of concern, and acknowledge that all submissions are public records under Florida law. While federal certifications like UEI, CAGE, or SAM.gov registration are not required, vendors must disclose MWBE or SBE certification status and comply with local Small Business Enterprise utilization goals for contracts over $50,000. Proposals must be submitted electronically via OpenGov Portal by the May 5, 2026 deadline and are evaluated on overall vendor qualification rather than price alone, with award determined by the most qualified offeror. Invoices must be emailed to ap@stpete.org with PO number, vendor details, and line-item specifics, and payments are processed through the City’s Procurement and Supply Management Department. Pricing for the 110-unit base order and additional units remains unspecified in the solicitation, preventing a defined contract value, and no contract administration representative or technical officer has been formally designated.
