Furniture, Outdoor Picnic Tables

The Pinellas County School District is seeking sealed electronic bids for Invitation to Bid (ITB) #25-HO-047, specifically for outdoor furniture consisting of picnic tables and umbrellas. The procurement targets five distinct line items: a 6' hexagonal picnic table, a 6' ADA hexagonal picnic table, a 6' rectangular picnic table, an 8' rectangular in-ground picnic table, and a 7.5' diameter umbrella. These items must be constructed from 100% recycled UV-protected plastic or resin, with color options including green, tan, or gray, and black bases. Bidders are required to submit detailed product illustrations, technical specifications, warranty information, and a manufacturer's letter certifying their authorized dealer status. Electronic responses must be submitted through the District's OpenGov Procurement portal before 3:00 pm on May 6, 2025, with the contract period spanning from June 10, 2025, to June 9, 2026, and potential options for two additional one-year renewals. Bidders will be evaluated based on their ability to meet specific material requirements, compliance with technical specifications, and overall value to the district.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Potential bidders must comply with various requirements, including E-Verify verification, background screening, and submission of affidavits related to public entity crimes, drug-free workplace, and human trafficking. The estimated contract value is approximately $50,000 per year, with pricing provisions allowing for escalation or de-escalation at each renewal period, not to exceed the previous year's Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The district reserves the right to award by line item, section, or aggregate total, whichever is most advantageous. In the event of a dispute, bidders must follow a specific bid protest procedure, which includes filing a written notice within 72 hours after bid tabulation and posting a bond between $500 and $5,000.
