Background:
IFB-604940-25/LNF will provide for qualified contractors to furnish labor, materials, transportation, coordination, equipment and incidentals necessary to accomplish sweeping of roads and bridges for the arterial and collector, subdivision streets and 5-Points facilities throughout Seminole County. The scope of services includes, but is not limited to the removal of sand, soil, paper, glass, vegetation and other debris from curbs and gutters, valley gutters, bridge decks and curbs, intersections, turn lanes, gore areas, bi-directional lanes and all paved areas designated by the County. The work is expected to be performed primarily by mechanical means, but at times it may be necessary to manually remove debris too large for the sweeper.
The project was publicly advertised and the County received two (2) responsive/responsible bids to the solicitation. The Review Committee consisting of Jim Hatfield, Engineering Inspector; Matthew Phillips, Program Manager and Owen Reagan, Division Manager, reviewed the submittals. Consideration was given to past performance, qualifications, and proposed price schedule.
The Review Committee recommends award of the project to the lowest priced, responsible, responsive bidder, USA Services of Florida, LLC, Longwood, FL. After posting of recommendation of award, the County received a timely letter of protest from the unsuccessful firm United Sweeping, who was found non-responsive for failure to meet minimum qualifications for length of time in business. The protest was reviewed and found to not have merit to overturn the recommendation of Award.
Authorization for performance under this agreement shall be in the form of Purchase Orders issued and executed by the County. These agreements take effect on the date of execution and shall run for a period of three (3) years, and at the sole option of the County may be renewed for two (2) successive periods not to exceed one (1) year each. The annual amount of these services is $242,785.00.
Requested Action:
Staff requests the Board award IFB-604940-25/LNF - Term Contract for Streets and Roadways Sweeping to USA Services of Florida, LLC, Longwood, and authorize the Purchasing and Contracts Division to execute the agreement.
