About this opportunity

Valencia College's District Board of Trustees is conducting a pre-qualified general contractor procurement for a fire sprinkler installation project at the East Campus Black Box Theater located in Orlando, Florida. The solicitation (ITB-F 2025-13) is specifically seeking pre-qualified general contractors with a single project certification over $225,000 for installing fire sprinklers compliant with NFPA 13 standards. The project involves comprehensive fire protection system implementation, including installing sprinklers, flow and tamper switches, electrical conduit for fire alarm devices, and modifying existing fire alarm systems to monitor new equipment. A mandatory site visit was held on February 17, 2025, at the East Campus Performing Arts Center, with electronic bid submissions due on February 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The college encourages contractors to hire licensed certified sprinkler subcontractors and will cover permitting costs through PDCS. The evaluation process will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with an anticipated project start in June 2025 and completion in August 2025.

The procurement is open only to pre-qualified general contractors, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Three vendors submitted bids: Siwel Inc. ($122,688.00), Gomez Construction Company ($169,965.00), and C&A Construction Group ($193,072.00). The contract period runs from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, with Siwel Inc. emerging as the first-ranked bidder. The project will utilize existing infrastructure, including an electric fire pump rated at 750 GPM and 80 PSI, and requires careful integration with the current electrical and fire alarm systems. Bidders were required to provide comprehensive proposals including fixed price bids, project schedules, and timelines, with a strict 40-page maximum (one-sided) or 20-page maximum (two-sided) document submission. The college will conduct detailed cost analysis and negotiate a contract with the top-ranked bidder, with the option to proceed to the second-ranked bidder if initial negotiations are unsuccessful.
