About this opportunity
Orange County, Florida, through its Convention Center, is seeking sealed electronic offers for a paper towel products contract (Solicitation Y24-1077) involving the procurement and installation of Tork Advanced PeakServe Continuous Hand Towel System dispensers and corresponding paper towel products. The solicitation requires a contractor to install 12,500 cases of white paper towels measuring 7.91" x 8.85", with 410 towels per package, and provide 300 hours of dispenser installation labor. The black, manually operated ADA-compliant dispensers must measure 28.74" x 14.57" x 3.98" and be installed during the first contract year, with subsequent installations at no additional charge. Electronic responses must be submitted through the ProcureNow OpenGov e-Procurement Platform by July 11, 2024, at 4:00 pm EST, with a deadline for questions on June 14, 2024, at 5:00 pm EST. The contract will have a five-year term, with potential price adjustments using the Producer Price Index (PPI) after the initial year, not to exceed 4% and subject to county approval.
The procurement opportunity appears to have several minority and local business considerations, including potential M/WBE (Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise) requirements and E-Verify compliance. Alternative paper towel brands may be proposed, provided specification sheets are uploaded to the Bid Response Form, demonstrating flexibility in vendor selection. The county reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with no guaranteed minimum purchase commitment. The contract will operate on an as-needed basis, with the county issuing delivery orders accordingly. Bidders must create a free account on the ProcureNow platform and ensure electronic submission capabilities. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the scope involves 12,500 cases of paper towels and 300 hours of installation labor, suggesting a substantial but not precisely defined contract value. Notably, removed dispensers must be transported to the OCCC Remote Building at 9860 Universal Boulevard in Orlando, FL, indicating specific logistical requirements for the awarded vendor.
