Towable Sonar

The City of Cape Coral’s Police Department is soliciting bids for Towable Sonar Equipment to improve the efficiency and safety of its dive team’s underwater operations. The equipment will enable the team to conduct wide-area scans of water bodies prior to diver deployment, significantly reducing unnecessary dive time and minimizing exposure to hazardous conditions such as low visibility, strong currents, and submerged debris. This technology is critical for the rapid and accurate location of submerged evidence, vehicles, and missing persons, thereby increasing the success rate of recovery missions. The selected vendor must provide comprehensive support including equipment tuning, delivery, installation, and a full warranty, ensuring the system is operational and maintained to the department’s standards. The solicitation, identified as 2026-Q-PD-038-MR, was posted on July 30, 2026, with responses due by August 12, 2026. The procurement is open to all eligible vendors without a specific set-aside designation and falls under the SLED (State, Local, and Education) classification. All equipment must be delivered and serviced within Florida, specifically for use by the Cape Coral Police Department located at 33915. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Business Manager Tammy Gair, reachable at tgair@capecoral.gov or 239-574-0616, with additional support available through Procurement Specialist Milagros Rosario at mrosario@capecoral.gov or 239-242-3667.
