Hyatt Lobby Chandeliers - BP-485

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the Hyatt Lobby Chandeliers project (BP-485) located at Orlando International Airport in Orange County, Florida. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide and install 22 specific chandelier fixtures manufactured by Sonneman Lighting, including 14 Ballroom Chandelier A, 2 Ballroom Chandelier B, and 6 Prefunction Chandelier A models. These chandeliers must feature integrated LED lighting with 350 lumens per orb, a 2700K warm color temperature, dimmable capabilities, cast glass globes on individual stems, matte black finishes, and starfire clear cast glass. Vendors must be licensed to do business in Florida and submit complete responses through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform by March 1, 2024. The bid requires unit pricing valid through October 31, 2024, with all costs including shipping to the Aviation Authority's location (ZIP: 32827). The procurement timeline includes a Procurement Committee review in March 2024 and an Aviation Authority Board Meeting on April 17, 2024, with the contract resulting in a standard purchase order awarded to the responsible and responsive respondent submitting the lowest total response.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Respondents must complete various certification forms, including conflict of interest disclosure, E-Verify compliance, and scrutinized companies certification. Only new, unused, current year and model items fully supported by manufacturer's warranty will be considered, and alternate items or substitutions are not permitted. The Aviation Authority is exempt from federal excise and sales taxes, and the chandeliers must be hardwired, require 120V power, and integrate with the existing dimming system. Manufacturers will be required to coordinate with the contractor on installation details, ensure weight support, and submit detailed shop drawings for approval prior to production. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement involves 22 custom lighting fixtures with precise technical specifications, suggesting a potentially significant investment in the airport's lobby renovation project.
