RFP Addendum #2 Second Site Visit.pdf

This is an RFP Addendum No. 2 issued by the Florida Department of Education, Bureau of Contracts, Grants and Procurement Management Services, for the Library Shelving Removal project (RFP 2026-18) at the Braille and Talking Book Library in Daytona Beach. The addendum, dated February 25, 2026, addresses vendor questions submitted during the Question and Answers period regarding site access modifications. Specifically, the addendum confirms that vendors may convert a single door in work area 1 to a double set of metal doors on the south side of the building to accommodate equipment access, with hardware matching existing doors and keyed alike. This modification must be reflected in vendor proposals. The original RFP deadline for proposal submission was February 24, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET, with a mandatory site inspection conducted on January 29, 2026 and a technical questions deadline of February 3, 2026. The procurement involves three phases: removal of electronic metal shelving units, extraction of embedded tracks from concrete floors, and finishing concrete floors for future use, with a 12-month completion timeframe and a not-to-exceed contract value of $538,000.00.

Vendor proposals are evaluated on a 90-point technical scale covering qualifications and experience (35 points), technical approach (35 points), and management plan (20 points), with price proposals accounting for 10 points of the maximum 100-point evaluation score. Prospective bidders must be authorized to conduct business in Florida, registered on MyFloridaMarketPlace, provide certificates of insurance with minimum general liability coverage of $1,000,000, submit valid W-9 forms with the Department of Financial Services, and submit at least three business references demonstrating comparable project experience. Payment is structured based on deliverables and specified completion milestones. The contract is not renewable, commences upon execution, and the Department of Education reserves the right to reject any and all proposals or award based on any combination of services deemed most advantageous to the state. Vendors have 72 hours from posting of the addendum to protest requirements.
