Intent to Utilize the HGACBuy Contract to Purchase Residential Trash Receptacles

The City of Clermont in Florida has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify local vendors capable of providing residential refuse and recycling containers, specifically under the existing contract RC01-21 with Duramax Holdings LLC DBA Otto Environmental Systems. The purpose of this RFI is to notify local businesses of the city's intent to utilize a contract from another government entity, the HGACBuy contract, for purchasing these containers, with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $115,574.40. The contract is set to expire on December 31, 2023, and the city is seeking responses from vendors located within South Lake County, preferably within the city limits, to determine their ability to supply the specified products. Vendors interested in participating must contact the Procurement Services Director by the response deadline of January 17, 2023, to confirm their capability to provide the requested products or services. Respondents are not asked to submit pricing but should provide relevant information about their capacity to supply the items. The evaluation of responses will be conducted solely by the Procurement Services Department and the requesting department, which will determine the suitability and approval of any proposed equivalents. The primary contact for inquiries is Ramsey Jimenez, reachable via email at [email hidden] or by phone at [phone hidden]. The notice emphasizes that if no local vendors respond, the city will proceed with utilizing the referenced contract without further local vendor engagement.
