Folding Partition Wall - Walter Fuller Recreation Center

The City of St. Petersburg, Florida, is seeking quotes from qualified vendors for the replacement of a folding partition wall at the Walter Fuller Recreation Center. The procurement opportunity requires the removal of the existing wall and installation of a new partition wall with specific dimensions of 25 feet 7 inches in length and 9 feet in height. The replacement wall must be padded, slide on tracks attached to both the ceiling and floor, and include a door. Vendors must have been in the construction services business for at least three years and demonstrate the ability to obtain required insurance. The solicitation requires a comprehensive quote with two line items: the padded partition wall with door and tracks, and a separate fee for disposal, labor, and installation. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for April 26, 2024, at 1:00 pm, with proposals due by May 1, 2024, at 3:00 pm. The project must be completed on or before September 6, 2024, with the city planning to award the contract to the lowest and best responsive quote from a vendor meeting minimum qualifications.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or minority-owned enterprises. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with Florida statutes on E-Verify, background checks, and non-discrimination requirements. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documentation. The city will retain the right to award the contract to a single vendor based on the most advantageous quote, with all awards contingent on meeting the outlined minimum qualifications. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is for a specialized recreational facility improvement project involving a custom partition wall solution. The city's standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, which apply to purchases under $75,000, will govern the contract, including provisions for delivery, payment, warranties, and performance standards. Vendors will be required to maintain industry-standard insurance and provide warranties lasting at least 12 months for the supplied goods and installation services.
