The procurement requires contractors to replace all existing windows with new Level "E" impact-rated windows and curtain wall systems, restore brick veneer, repair precast concrete panels, replace sealants, refinish louvers, and conduct extensive exterior wall restoration. Key project objectives include upgrading building envelope performance, improving wind resistance (calculated at 145 MPH ultimate wind speed), and ensuring compliance with Florida Building Code 2020.

Technical qualifications include demonstrating experience with non-residential renovation projects valued at no less than $1,000,000, with specific emphasis on high-security facility work.

The solicitation includes a 25% Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goal, with specific workforce diversity requirements of 18% minority and 6% women employees. Bidders must provide documentation of good faith efforts to meet these M/WBE requirements and submit performance and payment bonds, including a mandatory 10% bid bond. The project has a substantial completion deadline of 240 consecutive calendar days and a final completion deadline of 270 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed date. The estimated project budget is $2,200,000.00, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Technical specifications require comprehensive engineering and installation approaches, including fully engineered systems compliant with current building codes, with most system warranties ranging from 2-20 years depending on specific components. Orange County reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will manage the procurement through their Procurement Division, with Carrie Mathes leading the process and Rolando Melo serving as the Contracts Supervisor.
