This Construction Plans document pertains to the West Building Access Control System Replacement project (Y26-727) being procured by Orange County, Florida for the Orange County Convention Center. The project requires the replacement and upgrade of the existing Pegasys access control system in the West Building to a Lenel system while maintaining existing Lenel infrastructure throughout electrical rooms, IDF rooms, mechanical rooms, catwalks, gates, and select perimeter doors. The scope includes installation of card readers, door hardware, electronic locks, surveillance integration, fire detection and alarm equipment, and structured cabling systems with Category 6 UTP and fiber optic backbone. Sealed bids are due by 4:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, April 2, 2026, submitted electronically through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit is scheduled for March 10, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Orange County Convention Center, West Concourse, Conference Room W323.

The contractor must achieve Substantial Completion within 1,065 consecutive calendar days and Final Completion within 1,095 consecutive calendar days from the Official Notice to Proceed.

The estimated project cost is $14,775,652.00 on a lump sum basis, with bids exceeding $100,000 requiring a bid bond of at least 10 percent of the estimated contract amount. Mobilization costs are capped at 5 percent of the estimated base bid total.
