Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Equipment Shelters - Rebid

Pinellas County, Florida is requesting bids on four prefabricated ambient air quality monitoring equipment shelters to replace existing units at four county locations, with proposals due October 8, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. via OpenGov and questions due September 23, 2026. This rebid is federally funded through an EPA Inflation Reduction Act grant (contract 26-0574, $515,000 awarded August 22, 2024) and carries Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements for electrical work (electrician rates $33.11/hour plus $14.59 fringe benefits) and disadvantaged business enterprise compliance obligations under 40 CFR Part 33.

Each shelter shall be manufactured with a 100 AMP 120/240V service (meter box, riser, disconnect, subpanel) compliant with National Electric Code and Duke Energy requirements; five separate 20-amp circuits for interior and exterior lighting and receptacles; self-contained air conditioning and heating; insulation with finished interior floors, walls, and ceiling; equipment benches engineered for 400 lbs; roof guard rails with access stairs; and exterior ports and bracketing for air monitoring probe installation. Installation locations include 2435 Sharkey Road in Clearwater, two sites in St. Petersburg (7200-22nd Avenue N. and one to-be-determined location), and 8601 60th Street N. in Pinellas Park. Permit fees vary by municipality (estimated $452 for Clearwater, $620 each for St. Petersburg locations; Pinellas Park fee unknown) and are the contractor's responsibility, though reimbursement is provided for actual permit costs upon presentation of receipts. A Level 2 fingerprinting and background check fee of $85 is required by Pinellas County School Board for the Pinellas Park site.

Work must commence within 15 calendar days of notice to proceed and be completed within 48 months. Unit prices remain firm from contract execution through project completion. The county reserves the right to add or delete locations and services after award. Submittals may not be withdrawn for 120 days after opening. No site visit or pre-conference is required.
