Boiler Replacement - High School and Evergreen Elementary

The School District of Osceola County, Florida is soliciting sealed bids for the procurement of boiler equipment and installation services at two facilities: a High School and Evergreen Elementary School, as part of a capital improvement project. The scope of work encompasses the complete supply and installation of new boilers to replace existing equipment at both locations, with all associated costs including equipment, installation labor, permits, and inspections to be included in bidder proposals. Bidders are required to submit responses by March 12, 2026, addressing the technical specifications and installation requirements outlined in the bid documents. The School District has scheduled a site visit to allow bidders to inspect existing facilities and understand the installation environment, with a bidders' conference potentially available to clarify project requirements and address questions. Evaluation criteria include pricing, contractor qualifications, experience with similar projects, compliance with bid specifications, demonstration of financial stability, proper licensing, insurance, and bonding requirements as specified in the bid documents. The selected contractor is expected to complete the boiler installation within a defined timeframe to minimize disruption to school operations, with contract award anticipated following the bid opening and evaluation process.

The procurement may apply set-asides for minority-owned, women-owned, or small business enterprises if applicable under Florida statutes. Preference may be given to local contractors or those with established relationships with the School District, subject to competitive bidding requirements under Florida law. The project funding derives from the School District's capital improvement budget or bond proceeds designated for facility upgrades. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the available bid documents. While an exact award value or budget range was not explicitly stated in the procurement notice, the project scope—involving boiler replacement at two separate school facilities with full installation and related services—typically represents a substantial capital improvement investment. Interested bidders should review the complete Advertisement for Bids document for comprehensive specifications, submission requirements, and all terms and conditions governing this procurement opportunity.
