About this file

This is a 100% construction document specification manual prepared by Rhodes+Brito Architects for the Orange County Corrections Department's Female Detention Center FDC Isolation Cell Renovations project, addressing comprehensive renovation of two isolation cell units and complete domestic water piping replacement at the facility located at 400 East South Street in Orlando, Florida. The project specifications encompass Division 22 (Plumbing), Division 23 (HVAC), Division 26 (Electrical), Division 28 (Electronic Safety and Security), and Division 31 (Earthwork) work, with detailed technical requirements for Schedule 80 CPVC domestic water piping replacement, security plumbing fixtures, detention monitoring and control systems, conventional fire-alarm systems, LED interior lighting, emergency and exit lighting, and chemical termite control. The specifications mandate that all new plumbing piping in inmate-accessible areas be enclosed in 16-gauge stainless steel protective chases, require maintaining existing I-Con electronic plumbing control systems compatibility, and necessitate strict adherence to Florida Building Code (8th Edition 2023) and NFPA standards. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit are scheduled for July 30, 2025, at 1:00 pm, with sealed bids due by 4:00 pm EST on varying dates between August 26, 2025, and May 12, 2026, through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform, with a mandatory questions submission deadline of August 11, 2025. The estimated project cost is $4,100,000.00, requiring substantial completion within 335 consecutive calendar days and final completion within 365 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with payment following Florida's Local Government Prompt Payment Act at 5% retainage on progress payments.

The specifications detail extensive technical requirements for plumbing systems including domestic water piping, sanitary waste and vent piping, security plumbing fixtures with stainless steel construction, testing and adjusting and balancing procedures, and commissioning requirements coordinated with the Owner's Commissioning Agent. HVAC specifications address existing duct cleaning, motor requirements, hangers and supports, duct insulation, piping insulation, testing and balancing, and commissioning. Electrical work encompasses low-voltage power conductors and cables, grounding and bonding systems, raceways and boxes, identification systems, commissioning, wiring devices, and LED interior and emergency lighting. Electronic systems specifications include conventional fire-alarm systems and detention monitoring and control systems utilizing PLC technology with hard-control panel interfaces. The contract requires compliance with E-Verify, maintenance of drug-free workplace certification, and submission of references, professional licenses, and workforce demographics. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with technical evaluation emphasizing compliance with specifications, installation methodologies appropriate for detention facility infrastructure, and ability to maintain facility operations throughout renovation with minimal disruption to the corrections department's ongoing operations.
