Pinellas County’s Office of Fleet & Asset Management is proceeding with a sole source procurement under solicitation number 26-0668-N for a Weedoo P-3012 TC Diesel Model aquatic vegetation removal system complete with a customized trailer and attachments, including a marine boom cutter, grapple bucket, universal marine bucket system, and auxiliary hydraulic kit. The acquisition, valued at $113,560, is justified under Florida Statutes 287.057(3)(c) due to the unique, patented outdrive system offered exclusively by Weedoo Greenboat, Inc., which has submitted quote #00003438 as the sole qualified vendor. Delivery is scheduled for the designated ship-to address at 9685 Ullmerton Road, Largo, Florida, with on-site operator training included as a mandatory deliverable. The procurement is not subject to competitive bidding, and no formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, or standardized FAR provisions are present. Submission of responses is required through the OpenGov portal by July 28, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with supporting documentation including a sole source justification letter and quote details submitted as attachments. The account for payment is identified as 1094.436021.5640300.2205.0000000.0000000, though no formal payment office, contracting officer, or COR/COTR information is provided in the documentation. No formal packaging, marking, bar-coding, or preservation requirements are specified, and no military standards, socioeconomic certifications, or unique entity identifiers were included by the vendor. Inspection and acceptance are expected at the delivery location, with quality assurances limited to the manufacturer’s three-year hull and deck warranty and the inclusion of eco-friendly hydraulic systems. All administrative functions, including requisition approval, are managed internally by Pinellas County personnel, with Michael Calhoun serving as the primary point of contact for procurement inquiries.
