This is an Advertisement for Bids issued by the School District of Osceola County, Florida, for the procurement of boiler equipment and related services at two facilities: a High School and Evergreen Elementary School. The project encompasses the supply and installation of new boilers to replace existing equipment at both locations. Bidders are required to submit sealed bids by the specified due date, with responses addressing the technical specifications and installation requirements outlined in the bid documents. The School District has scheduled a mandatory or recommended site visit to allow bidders to inspect the existing facilities and understand the installation environment. A bidders' conference may be conducted to address questions and clarify project requirements. The contract award is anticipated following the bid opening and evaluation process, with the selected contractor expected to complete the boiler installation within a defined timeframe to minimize disruption to school operations.

The procurement will be evaluated based on pricing, contractor qualifications, experience with similar projects, and compliance with bid specifications. Pricing terms should include all costs associated with equipment supply, installation labor, and any required permits or inspections. The School District may apply set-asides for minority-owned, women-owned, or small business enterprises if applicable under Florida statutes. Funding for this project derives from the School District's capital improvement budget or bond proceeds designated for facility upgrades. Bidders must demonstrate financial stability and provide evidence of proper licensing, insurance, and bonding requirements as specified in the bid documents. Preference may be given to local contractors or those with established relationships with the School District, subject to competitive bidding requirements under Florida law.
