Boca Tolls Data Center Exterior Painting

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), specifically Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, is soliciting bids for the Boca Tolls Data Center Exterior Painting project through Invitation to Bid (ITB) number DOT-ITB-26-8007-RM. The procurement is located in Palm Beach County and seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive exterior painting and aesthetic improvements for the existing Boca Tolls Data Center situated at Milepost 75 on Florida's Turnpike (SR 91). This is a lump sum contract requiring bidders to furnish all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals to complete the exterior painting project. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 15, 2025, at 10:30 AM, with bid submissions due on July 29, 2025, at 2:30 PM ET, followed immediately by a public bid opening. The contract term is anticipated to be 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with potential renewal options for up to three additional years. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation based on a single pay item for the entire project. Partial payments will be permitted, and invoicing will require detailed documentation including company information, financial project identification, contract number, service period, and total invoice amount.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be funded through the Florida Department of Transportation's budget, with payment contingent on satisfactory completion and final acceptance of work. Financial consequences are clearly defined for contractor performance, including potential deductions of $500 or 1% of the contract amount per calendar day for late completion, and $200 per day for site maintenance issues. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the exterior painting and aesthetic improvement project suggests a significant investment. The contract allows for potential three-year renewal options, indicating the possibility of an extended engagement. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the available documentation. The project appears to be a standalone exterior renovation effort for the Boca Tolls Data Center, focusing on aesthetic improvements and maintenance of the facility's exterior appearance.
