SETTLEMENT

In May of 2026, the Florida Department of Health (Department), and Herc Rentals Inc began negotiating contractual requirements with the intent of executing a new Purchase Order (PO) to begin July 1, 2026. The PO would continue the provision for the rental of a Sixteen-Foot Refrigerated Trailer. During the negotiating phase, the Department realized that the PO would not be issued by the necessary start date of July 1, 2026, which led to the Department authorizing the Vendor on that date to provide the trailer without an active PO in place. Subsequently, PO# C7AE57 was issued July 21, 2026, to allow for the rental until its expiration on June 30, 2027. On July 8, 2026, the Department received Vendor’s Invoice #34856643-023 totaling $3,901.00 for costs incurred for goods and services provided for the period of June 7, 2026, through July 6, 2026. A partial payment of $2,990.79 was made against PO# C63F2B via SWDN# D70-0008-7656 for goods and services provided from June 7, 2026, through June 30, 2026. The Vendor is still owed an amount of $910.21 captured on Vendor’s Invoice #34856643-023A for goods and services provided from July 1, 2026, through July 6, 2026. On August 7, 2026, the Department received Vendor’s Invoice #34856643-024 totaling $3,901.00 for costs incurred for goods and services provided for the period of July 7, 2026, through August 6, 2026. A partial payment of $2,139.26 was made against PO# C7AE57 via SWDN# D70-0014-3603 for goods and services provided from July 21, 2026, through August 6, 2026. The Vendor is still owed an amount of $1,761.74 captured on Vendor’s Invoice #34856643-024A for goods and services provided from July 7, 2026, through July 20, 2026. The Vendor is owed a total amount of $2,671.95 for goods and service provided from July 1, 2026, through July 20, 2026. However, the Department was unable to process the invoice through the normal course of business due to the lack of an active PO at the time services were provided.
