Hillsborough CHD Roof Top Unit Replacement

The Hillsborough County Department of Health (CHD) is soliciting competitive sealed bids for a roof-top unit replacement project located at 8515 North Mitchell Avenue in Tampa, Florida. This procurement targets licensed general contractors or mechanical contractors who can replace an existing roof-mounted DX packaged unit and upgrade direct digital controls. Qualified bidders must submit a current Florida Department of Management Services (DMS) biennial prequalification letter and include a bid bond of at least 5% of the total bid amount. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 16, 2025, at 10:00 am, with sealed bids to be publicly opened on June 9, 2025, at 1:30 pm. Attendance at the pre-bid meeting is restricted to prime bidders who sign in, and the contract will be awarded to the qualified, responsive low bidder in accordance with Chapter 60D-5. Bidding documents can be obtained in electronic PDF format from BSA LifeStructures in Tampa, with Ricardo Socci serving as the primary contact.

Upon contract award, the successful bidder will be required to provide performance and labor and material payment bonds. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified mechanical or general contractors licensed to work in Hillsborough County. The project involves comprehensive replacement of existing infrastructure, including all necessary labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and permit procurement. Although a specific budget range is not detailed in the available documentation, the requirement for a 5% bid bond suggests the project has a substantial financial scope. The official Notice of Award Recommendation will be electronically posted on the DMS Vendor Bid System website, providing transparency in the selection process. Contractors interested in this opportunity should carefully review the complete bidding documents and ensure they meet all prequalification and licensing requirements before submission.
