One pole-mounted camera must be run with fiber cable and converters back into the building. Contractor qualification is mandatory for all bidders submitting responses under this annual contract for low voltage work, with prequalification applications required at least 10 days prior to the bid due date of September 8, 2022. A mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for August 16, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. at the Palm Beach County Clerk of Court located at 429 Park Place, West Palm Beach, Florida. Sealed quotes and bids were due by 2:00 p.m. on September 8, 2022, with public opening at the same time and location at the Palm Beach County Facilities Development and Operations Department, Capital Improvements Division at 2633 Vista Parkway, West Palm Beach, Florida.

The procurement includes small, minority, and women-owned business enterprise (S/M/WBE) requirements and bonding requirements for all qualified contractors. A critical contractual requirement established in Addendum #1, issued August 31, 2022, specifies that the contractor is prohibited from removing any existing low voltage wiring that feeds the cameras, with the Palm Beach County ISS department maintaining exclusive responsibility for removing and installing all new low voltage wiring associated with the project. Acknowledgment of receipt of Addendum #1 was required to be signed and attached to bid forms, with failure to do so potentially resulting in bidder disqualification. Confidential building plans and drawings were made available only through direct contact with the county. The procurement represents an annual contract for camera installation services at PBCCC facilities. Palm Beach County reserved the right to waive any bid irregularities, informalities, or technical deficiencies and to reject any and all quotes and bids. The specific contract award value or budget range was not disclosed in the available procurement documents.
