About this file
This file contains technical specifications for solar water heating equipment required for the Fire Station 14 Solar Water Heater Replacement project in Sarasota County, Florida. The procurement involves removal and replacement of a hurricane-damaged Alternate Energy Technologies AE-32 solar thermal collector with either an identical unit or an approved equivalent model. The AE-32 collector measures 97.1875 inches in length and 47.1875 inches in width with a gross area of 31.85 square feet and transparent area of 29.9 square feet, featuring a 100% copper absorber plate, low-iron tempered glass glazing with 90% solar energy transmission, and polyisocyanurate insulation. The system includes an American Water Heaters residential electric direct solar water heater storage tank available in three capacities: 65, 80, or 119 gallons, each equipped with a 4500-watt heating element, glasslined steel tank with 2-inch non-CFC foam insulation, and aluminum anode rod protection. The quote submission deadline is December 22, 2025, with a maximum quote amount of $150,000.00 per project plus up to 10 percent contingency allowable with County approval.
Contractors must possess an active Certified Plumbing Contractor license and provide two references demonstrating solar water heater collector repair, replacement, and installation experience within the past seven years. Insurance requirements include Workers' Compensation with $500,000.00 employers liability limits, Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 aggregate, and Business Automobile Liability of $1,000,000.00 combined single limit. The contract is funded through disaster recovery grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Florida Division of Emergency Management, with no specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises and no local or American business preferences due to grant funding requirements. All work and materials will be warranted for one year or the standard manufacturer warranty, whichever is greater, with the contract term extending for the duration of the project. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible offeror submitting the lowest total bid price.
