Sole Source-Elevator Modernization

The City of Port St. Lucie, through its Facilities Maintenance agency, is pursuing a non-competitive sole source award for specialized facility upgrades. While procurement notices indicate an intent to award Harold Beck and Sons for actuators used in water and wastewater facility valve control under Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c), additional documentation specifies a sole source justification for the Schindler Elevator Company. This specific engagement involves the modernization of two elevators within the Police Department building with an estimated expenditure of 479,867.65 dollars, justified by the vendor's status as the original manufacturer to ensure equipment compatibility and service continuity. The procurement process for these awards is designed to enhance transparency and allow potential suppliers to submit statements of capability to determine if a competitive bidding process is warranted. For the elevator modernization project, the response deadline was set for October 27, 2026. Primary coordination for these efforts is managed by Construction Project Director Roger Jacob and Procurement Contracting Officer India Barr.
