John Deere Equipment Maintenance, Repair, and Parts

Hillsborough County intends to recommend the award of a noncompetitive procurement to Dobbs Equipment, LLC, in the estimated amount of $281,115.00, for ongoing and as-needed parts, warranty, maintenance, and repair services in support of County owned John Deere-equipment for a three (3) year period. This procurement is being made in accordance with the County’s Procurement Policy Section 3-208(15) and is considered a noncompetitive procurement because Dobbs Equipment, LLC is the only Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) authorized vendor in the Hillsborough County area that can provide the required maintenance, services, parts, and warranties for existing John Deere equipment. The services are required to ensure the County’s existing John Deere equipment is well maintained and in proper operation when in use. The County reserves the right to extend the time period further, adjust the scope of services in response to changing conditions and updated requirements, and increase the resulting award accordingly. Contractors who believe that they can provide goods and/or services that are substantially and materially the same as those identified in the attached proposal and scope of services must submit clear and convincing information to support a challenge the intended award. Challenges to this notice must be received no later than the Close Date of the Sole Source (SS) Project. After this date, an award will be made. The County will review properly submitted challenges (responses) to determine whether bona fide competition exists. For more information, please call +1 (555) 000-0000.
