Bucket Boat with Captain

This informal request‑for‑bid awards a lease of a bucket‑boat together with a qualified captain to support bridge‑inspection activities for Cuyahoga County’s Road and Bridge Division in the spring of 2022. The County requires a comprehensive, all‑inclusive rental charge that covers travel, labor, insurance, and any ancillary expenses, and the work is to be performed during normal work‑week hours under County direction. The procurement was issued as a not‑to‑exceed purchase order, indicating a fixed‑price ceiling rather than a cost‑reimbursement arrangement. No competitive bidding was evident, and the award details list two line‑item amounts ($4,300 and $2,504) but do not disclose the vendor names. • Scope: Lease of one bucket‑boat with captain for bridge inspection (spring 2022). • Procurement type: Likely sole‑source, not‑to‑exceed PO, firm‑fixed‑price. • Value: Approximately $6,800 based on awarded line totals. • Agency contact: Toni Wlosowicz, Purchasing Analyst ([email protected]).
