Intent to Single Source - Speedtronics Replacement Gearboxes

The City of Tampa has issued an intent to single source procurement for Speedtronics replacement gearboxes, specifically for Foot-Jones related gearboxes, under solicitation number 26-X-00453. The contract involves acquiring these gearboxes from an authorized distributor capable of providing warranty, maintenance, and repair services, with the performance location in Tampa, Florida. The procurement emphasizes strict insurance and liability requirements, including comprehensive coverage such as Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers’ Compensation, Pollution Liability, Cyber Liability, and specialized coverage for drone operations, all with specified minimum limits. Vendors must demonstrate their ability to meet these insurance standards, provide appropriate certificates, and maintain policies that name the City as an additional insured, with provisions for notification of policy changes and claims reporting. The contractual framework is structured around detailed insurance clauses tailored to local government procurement, with no explicit FAR clauses or federal-specific certifications required. The documentation underscores the importance of vendor qualification, insurance compliance, and risk management but does not specify evaluation criteria, pricing, or delivery schedules. The scope centers on the supply, installation, and ongoing support of the gearboxes, with the City acting as the primary point for inspection and acceptance at the project site. Overall, the procurement is a targeted, non-competitive effort designed to ensure the City receives reliable, insured equipment from a qualified vendor capable of supporting the gearboxes throughout their operational lifecycle.
