About this opportunity
Orange County, Florida is seeking sealed bids for the Orange County Convention Center West Water Fountain Eco-Friendly Sustainability Upgrade project (Solicitation Number Y24-708), which involves replacing standard height drinking fountains with bottle fillers in 46 locations within the West Concourse Building. The project aims to upgrade existing water fountains with sustainable, hands-free bottle filling stations from manufacturers like Elkay, Oasis, and Halsey Taylor, featuring antimicrobial coatings, green tickers, and laminar flow electronic filling capabilities. Contractors must submit electronic bids through the ProcureNow OpenGov e-Procurement Platform by September 28, 2023, at 4:00 pm EST, with questions to be submitted by September 18, 2023, at 5:00 pm EST. The work will be performed during non-operational hours (9:00 pm to 6:00 am, Monday through Friday) while the convention center remains occupied, requiring close coordination with OCCC staff and adherence to strict site protection and personnel background check requirements. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation, including digital pre-existing condition records, weekly construction schedules, and ensure all equipment is on-site before beginning active construction.
The solicitation includes a 25% Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goal, requiring bidders to either meet the goal or demonstrate good faith efforts to do so. Contractors must submit FDLE Level 1 background checks for all staff, comply with security and identification requirements, and use e-Builder for all communications and submittals. The project has a substantial completion timeline of 150 consecutive calendar days and a final completion timeline of 180 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed date, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for substantial completion delays and $250 per day for final completion delays. The estimated project cost is $684,523.00, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bidders must provide bid bonds or alternative surety for bids exceeding $100,000 and submit various compliance documents, including references for similar projects, licensing information, and workforce demographic data. The project will be funded by Orange County and requires integration with the existing convention center infrastructure while minimizing operational disruptions.
