FY27 Rental, Refill, and Delivery of CO2

Collier County’s Operations & Regulatory Management Division is soliciting quotes under Informal Competition Quick Quote QQ-2026-144 for the FY27 rental, refill, and delivery of CO2 cylinders, with responses due by July 28, 2026. The contract requires vendors to provide timely and compliant service within Collier County, Florida, at FOB destination terms, where risk of loss transfers only upon physical delivery to the County’s designated site. Performance must adhere to stringent safety, environmental, and regulatory standards tied to OSHA, NFPA 70E, Florida Statutes, and local policies, including the preferential use of Florida-produced wood products when price and quality are equal. Vendors must submit a Certificate of Authority from the Florida Department of State, be enrolled in E-Verify, provide payment and performance bonds equal to 100% of the contract value, and comply with strict anti-collusion, conflict of interest, and public records laws. All personnel working at County Sheriff’s Office facilities must undergo fingerprinting and background checks at the vendor’s expense, and contractors must notify the County within four hours of any key employee separation. Packaging and labeling must ensure safe transport and include consecutive numbering along with the purchase order number on all containers, bills of lading, and packing slips, though no military standards apply. Invoices must be submitted electronically to [email hidden] with the purchase order number and service description, and payment is governed by Florida’s Local Government Prompt Payment Act. No contract value or pricing details are specified, and while no formal evaluation factors or weights are outlined, award will likely follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model contingent on full compliance with all mandatory requirements. Access to County IT systems requires 24-hour advance notice and adherence to specific CMAs, and all debris must be removed and sites restored post-service. The contract does not include options or modification clauses beyond those governed by Section 7’s change provisions and termination clauses for default or convenience.
