ADA Water Fountains for Greenways & Natural Lands

Seminole County is seeking quotes for three (3) ADA-compliant outdoor water fountains for its Greenways & Natural Lands program, specifically requesting Elkay Outdoor EZH2O Bottle Filling Station Bi-Level Pedestal, Non-Filtered Non-Refrigerated Evergreen fountains or equivalent models. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) was released on April 21, 2023, with critical procurement dates including a question submission deadline of May 8, 2023 at 5:00 pm and a quote submission deadline of May 10, 2023 at 2:00 pm. Delivery of the water fountains will be to 121 Bush Loop, Sanford, FL 32773. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation including business type, licensing, insurance, worker's compensation compliance, drug-free workplace certification, and Americans with Disabilities Act affidavit. Submission requirements also mandate past performance references and completion of a price submittal form. Seminole County reserves significant procurement flexibility, including the right to reject any quotes, conduct interviews, make partial awards, or cancel the project entirely.

The procurement appears open to multiple business types, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documents. Pricing shall comprehensively include all associated costs such as overhead, fringe benefits, shipping charges, labor, and direct or indirect costs. The solicitation is potentially tied to FEMA funding, which introduces additional federal compliance requirements outlined in the attached FEMA Requirements document. These requirements include strict provisions around non-discrimination, wage standards, workplace safety, immigration laws, and procurement practices, with an emphasis that all materials and supplies must be produced in the United States. Contractors must also be prepared to comply with federal regulatory standards and potential oversight. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the scope involves three water fountain installations, suggesting a moderate-scale procurement likely in the range of $15,000-$30,000 depending on specific model selections and installation requirements.
