Intent to Utilize the Florida Sheriffs Association Contract to Purchase Collection Trucks

The City of Clermont is issuing an RFI to gauge vendor capability to supply two rear‑loading refuse collection trucks and one flatbed truck with hydraulic liftgate under an existing Florida Sheriffs Association contract (FSA25‑VEH23.0) that runs through September 30 2027. Vendors must be registered in Florida, submit capability statements (no pricing) by October 16, 2026, and may be considered as equal alternatives to the referenced contract. This is a market‑research effort, not a formal bid solicitation. • Procurement of 3 heavy‑duty trucks (2 refuse, 1 flatbed) • Uses existing cooperative contract with Florida Sheriffs Association • Estimated annual spend $428,639 • Responses due electronically by 2:00 pm on Oct 16 2026 • Vendors must be Florida‑registered and licensed • No pricing required in the RFI response
