Please note : This is a Sole Source Notification .. Hillsborough County intends to recommend the award of a special procurement to Coastal Rescue Solutions Inc for the purchase of two ( 2 ) TWINTransport Steel Painted Trailers and accessories at an estimated cost of $ 46 , 220 . 00 .

The County needs the trailers to be delivered to the Fire Rescue Department before June 30 , 2026 , as this is a requirement to the FM1196 Grant issued by the State of Florida . This procurement is being made in accordance with Section 3 - 207 of the County ’ s Procurement Policy as Coastal Rescue Solutions Inc is the only located vendor able to deliver the required compatible trailers for Fire Rescue by the deadline of June 30 , 2026 . Since this procurement will be utilizing a State of Florida grant and not the Fire Rescue Department ’ s operating budget , this will allow the Fire Rescue Department to utilize their money for other necessary goods and services for the citizens of Hillsborough County . The County reserves the right to extend the time period further , adjust the scope of services in response to changing conditions and updated requirements , and increase the resulting award accordingly .
