Drop Ceiling Replacement

Brevard County Purchasing Services, on behalf of the Parks and Recreation Department, has issued a competitive bid (B-4-25-29) for a drop ceiling replacement project at the Isaac Campbell Community Center in Titusville, Florida. The procurement requires a comprehensive renovation of approximately 4,591 square feet, including the foyer, hallway, computer room, large room, and office. Contractors must furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and trucking to remove the existing drop ceiling, light fixtures, and ceiling tiles, and install a new 15/16" heavy duty T-Bar grid with existing 2' x 4' lighting, new 2'x4' ceiling tiles, and new ventilation air return grills. Specific material requirements include Armstrong Random Textured 933 ceiling tiles, Square Lay-in 15/16" grid, and white plastic perforated tiles. The bid was released on January 10, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting held on January 17, 2025, and proposals were due by February 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Evaluation criteria included price, with six vendors submitting bids ranging from $37,625.00 to $58,903.75.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. All six bidders were Florida-based construction companies, suggesting some local preference. The project requires contractors to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, auto liability, and workers' compensation, with specific minimum coverage amounts. The contract includes a 10-year limited warranty beginning on the date of acceptance. Complete Construction Creations LLC from Live Oak, FL was awarded the contract at $37,625.00, representing the lowest bid. The total project budget was estimated at $60,000, with the procurement processed as a one-time purchase with no specified renewal options. Additional requirements include submitting a certificate of insurance within 5 days and a current W9 form, with special attention required for handling smoke detectors during the ceiling replacement to ensure proper reconnection to the fire alarm system.
