Modernization of City Hall Elevators

The City of Kissimmee, located in Polk County, Florida, is seeking proposals for a comprehensive modernization of two hydraulic passenger elevators at City Hall through RFP2025-005. The project requires a complete turn-key modernization to ensure elevator safety and functionality, specifically addressing compliance with Chapter 399 of Florida Statutes and ASME A17.3-2015 safety codes. The scope of services includes technical expertise, qualified labor, equipment, materials, programming software, and all necessary services to convert the existing Dover DMC Hydraulic Passenger elevators with 5 landings into updated systems. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a site visit to follow, and proposals are due by 2:00 PM on May 16, 2025, with a public opening at 2:30 PM the same day. Proposers must submit one original, two copies, and one electronic copy of their proposal, demonstrating experience with similar elevator modernization projects and providing comprehensive references.

The procurement appears to have a local vendor preference for Osceola County businesses and requires specific bonding and insurance requirements, including a 5% bid bond and 100% performance bond. Contractors must provide workers' compensation, comprehensive general liability, automobile liability, and umbrella coverage. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the project involves comprehensive mechanical and electrical system updates, including removing old elevator components, installing a new sump pump in the elevator pit, and providing a new DX split system for the elevator machine room. The contract term will extend until a final Certificate of Occupancy is issued, but no longer than 12 months from the effective date. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the extensive modernization requirements suggest a significant capital investment, encompassing electrical infrastructure updates, fire alarm system modifications, and complete elevator equipment replacement at the Kissimmee City Hall located at 101 Church St, Kissimmee, FL 34741-5054.
