QTY two (2) Pulsar 25HJ Diaphragm Pump Assembly Units

The City of St. Petersburg Water Resources Department is soliciting two specific Pulsar 25HJ diaphragm pump assemblies, one rated at 20 GPH with a 0.5 HP motor and the other at 36 GPH with the same motor, with no substitutions or equivalents permitted. This is a single, non-repeating purchase with a total estimated value of $39,273.14, and responses must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov Procurement Portal by June 5, 2026, at 3:00 PM local time. The solicitation requires vendors to be registered with the Florida Division of Corporations and to provide at least three customer references, proof of required insurance coverage, and compliance with local certification programs as a Small Business Enterprise or Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise, though federal small business status or UEI/CAGE codes are not required. Evaluation is based on responsiveness, completeness, licensing, insurance, ability to meet non-negotiable terms, and overall qualification, with award going to the most qualified vendor under a trade-off methodology rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Delivery is F.O.B. origin with pre-pay and add freight terms, and the pumps must be delivered to locations specified in purchase orders, including 3800 54th Ave. S, St. Petersburg, FL 33711, with a standard lead time of six to seven weeks after order acknowledgment or approval of drawings. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery point within ten business days, and all items must fully conform to specifications; non-conforming goods must be corrected at the vendor’s expense. The contract includes non-negotiable provisions such as indemnification, adherence to Florida law, no arbitration, and a non-appropriation clause tying payment to annual funding. Contractors must comply with E-Verify, Florida’s Public Records Law, and disclose any ties to foreign countries of concern or status as a scrutinized company. Invoices are to be submitted monthly and paid within twenty business days under the Local Government Prompt Payment Act, though no electronic invoicing system or specific accounting codes are provided. Packaging and labeling require basic identification tags and EAR99 export classification but no MIL-STD standards, and warranty and guarantee provisions are included. All submissions must be in PDF format via the OpenGov portal, with no alternative methods accepted.
