Toilet, Urinal, & Sink Replacement at the I75 Welcome Center in Hamilton County, FL Agency Decision

The Florida Department of Transportation awarded a contract to Barrs Plumbing, Inc. for the replacement of toilets, urinals, and sinks at the I-75 Northbound Welcome Center in Hamilton County, Florida, following a bid opening on May 13, 2026. The solicitation, identified as DOT-ITB-26-2032-JB, received only one responsive bid, prompting a single-source award based on an immediate operational need and in-state preference under Florida Statutes s.287.084. The awarded amount is $242,334.25, with no itemized line-item breakdown provided, and the place of performance is clearly defined as the I-75 Welcome Center in Hamilton County. While the contract is structured as a fixed-price purchase order, no formal contract type, period of performance, delivery schedule, or FOB terms were specified in the available documentation. The procurement process adhered to Florida state procurement regulations, including mandatory bond submissions and waiver of protest rights for non-compliance, with the Department retaining full discretion to reject any or all bids. Although the NAICS code listed is 72101510, no socioeconomic status, size designation, UEI or CAGE codes, or completed representations were disclosed for the awardee. Section K certifications, FAR contract clauses, and technical specifications such as ANSI or FDOT standards were not included in the provided materials, and no explicit inspection criteria, quality standards, or contract administration details like payment office information, accounting codes, invoicing systems, or designated COR/COTR personnel were identified. The only officially confirmed point of contact is Jake Boozer from FDOT, who conducted the bid opening, while Rodney Milligan and Ben Douglass were noted as participants in the evaluation process without assigned contractual roles. All documentation references rely on the Department’s internal procurement system, with bid tabulation and other attachments accessible via the vendor portal, but formal contractual clauses, deliverables, and performance metrics remain minimally detailed beyond the scope of fixture replacement and statutory compliance.
