Approval of Agreement between the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency and Bigbelly Solar, LLC for the Purchase and Installation of Trash and Recycling Receptacles in the amount of $380,448.60.

The Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) issued Bid No. 2026-017 to solicit proposals for the purchase and installation of trash and recycling receptacles in Downtown Fort Pierce, Jetty Park, and the River Walk. The procurement is solely for the manufacturing and installation of receptacles; no software, monitoring programs, or service contracts are included.

The project supports FPRA’s ongoing beautification and litter management efforts by introducing a consistent, high-quality system of waste and recycling receptacles designed to reduce overflow, decrease collection frequency, and complement the surrounding environment.

At the bid closing, Big Belly Solar, LLC was the only respondent. Big Belly’s proposal meets the specifications outlined in the bid documents and provides unit pricing for each receptacle type, with final quantities and locations to be confirmed upon award.

At the January FPRA meeting, the FPRA Board approved the award of Bid No. 2026-017 to Big Belly Solar, LLC. The agreement is now being presented to the Board for formal approval to proceed with execution and implementation of the project.
