This is a window and door buck installation layout document for the City of Homestead's Code Compliance and Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Administration Building wind retrofit project, funded through the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management Hurricane Loss Mitigation Program. The project involves the installation of new impact windows and doors at 653 SW 4 Street in Homestead, Florida, with buck framing to be constructed from 1" x 4" blue pressure-treated borate material without window wrap. The scope includes 20 single-hung window openings with varying dimensions: items 1-4 measure 53" x 62" in masonry opening width and height, items 5-20 measure 52" x 62", and items 18-20 measure 53" x 37". All specifications were prepared by Florida Keys Windows (contact: willy@floridakeyswindows.com, 305-451-9796) and dated January 2, 2025.

The estimated cost for the buck installation totals $2,746.02, comprising material and labor costs. The calculation is based on 4,514 linear inches of perimeter framing around each opening at a cost per item of $22.57 per linear foot, with 1" x 4" borate material costing $1,805.60 and installation labor totaling $940.42 for an estimated 80 man hours. The project must comply with all Florida Division of Emergency Management requirements, the Florida Building Code, Miami-Dade County product approval standards, and applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible vendor whose quote is most advantageous to the City, with evaluation criteria including price, contractor qualifications and licensing, experience with similar projects, ability to meet the project schedule, mobilization time, and demonstrated completion capability.
