IAQ Repairs (Big Cypress)

The Seminole Tribe of Florida's Housing Department is soliciting bids for an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Repair project located at 30300 E. Cowbone Island Rd. in Clewiston, FL, specifically targeting repairs in the Hot Water Closet and Master Bathroom. The procurement (ITB-LD 109-2025) requires qualified contractors to perform comprehensive repair services, including removal and replacement of damaged drywall, baseboards, and associated components with specific material and installation standards. Contractors must be active registered vendors with the Tribe, hold current relevant licenses such as Certified General, Building, or Residential Contractor, and demonstrate a minimum of two years of experience in similar services. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 16, 2025, at 12:00 PM (ET), with questions due by September 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM, and final bids due September 25, 2025, at 5:00 PM. Evaluation criteria will likely include contractor qualifications, licensing compliance, insurance coverage, and comprehensive pricing detailed in the Schedule of Values (SOV) spreadsheet. The project requires project commencement within 60 calendar days of purchase order receipt and completion within 21 calendar days.

The solicitation encourages bids from Seminole Tribal Member and STOFI-owned businesses, offering preference within certain price margins. Contractors must provide evidence of state-level certifications and obtain necessary permits, including Residential Building Alteration/Renovation and associated Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing permits. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating minimum coverage levels for commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability. While specific budget amounts are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive Schedule of Values suggests a structured approach to pricing across seven primary categories including general conditions, supervision, electrical work, thermal and moisture protection, hot water closet finishes, bathroom finishes, and plumbing services. Subcontractors must be properly licensed and hired by the General Contractor to complete work outside the primary contractor's scope. Although no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes a thorough and transparent bidding process designed to select the most qualified contractor for the IAQ repair project.
