Prequalification - Annual Contract Low Voltage Services

Palm Beach County, Florida is establishing a prequalification-based annual contract for low voltage repair and replacement services through its Capital Improvements Division (Project #P-2026-000034). The procurement seeks to create a list of qualified contractors to provide low voltage services on an as-needed basis throughout the county, with individual work orders anticipated to be generally less than $100,000, though larger projects are possible. Qualified contractors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of relevant business experience, possess a valid certified or registered general contractor's license (CGC) in Florida for at least three years, and have successfully completed a minimum of $300,000 in low voltage services projects annually for each of the previous three years (2023, 2024, and 2025). The qualification application package is due by 2:00 P.M. on April 21, 2026, at the Palm Beach County Facilities Development and Operations Department, Capital Improvements Division, 2633 Vista Parkway, West Palm Beach, Florida, with qualifications to be reviewed within 20 business days of submission. Upon qualification approval, successful contractors will be invited to submit competitive bids for specific work orders, with awards going to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder after consideration of applicable Small Business Development program requirements and local preference provisions. Contractors must submit comprehensive documentation including proof of licenses, current and historical project information, litigation status, financial stability evidence, and a nongovernmental human trafficking affidavit. The contract documents are available through the County's online Vendor Self-Service system at https://pbcvssp.pbc.gov/vssprd/Advantage4, via email to FDO-CID-Bids@pbc.gov, or by telephone at (561) 233-0261.

The annual contract will be awarded for up to five years with an initial not-to-exceed cumulative amount of $5,000,000 in non-federal funds, with the contract period extending through June 22, 2031. The County reserves the right to add additional qualified contractors at any time during the contract term, allowing contractors to submit qualification applications at any point during the contract period. Bid security and public construction bonds are not required with the initial qualification package; bonding requirements for individual work orders will be specified in subsequent Invitations for Quote or Bid based on project value thresholds detailed in the Instructions to Bidders. While the procurement documents reference consideration of Small Business Development program requirements and local preference provisions in the work order award process, specific details regarding set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. Interested parties should note that the qualification advertisement was published in the Palm Beach Post on March 22, 2026, and March 29, 2026, with the original posting date of March 22, 2026.
