Prequalification - Annual Contract Overhead Door Replacement

Palm Beach County's Capital Improvements Division is conducting a prequalification process to establish an annual contract for overhead door replacement services, designated as Project Number 2023-024091. This procurement seeks qualified contractors capable of furnishing all materials, labor, supervision, equipment, permits, and related services for the replacement of overhead and manual garage doors (rolling and sectional) on an as-needed basis throughout the county. Contractors must possess a valid certified or registered building contractor's license, certified general contractor's license (CGC), or specialty contractor certification for a minimum of five years in Florida, and demonstrate a minimum of five years of relevant business experience with at least $300,000 in overhead door replacement projects completed annually for each of the three preceding years. Applicants must provide evidence of adequate financial stability, compliance with the Palm Beach County Living Wage Ordinance, and participation in the County's Equal Business Opportunity Program. The qualification application deadline was May 23, 2023, at 2:00 p.m., with a non-mandatory WebEx conference held on May 10, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. at Meeting Number 2302 553 5829 (Password: ANNUAL1). Submission of sealed qualification packages must be made to the Palm Beach County Facilities Development and Operations Department Capital Improvement Division at 2633 Vista Parkway, West Palm Beach, Florida. For individual work orders exceeding $200,000, bid security of five percent of the bid price is required, along with a 100 percent public construction bond; no bonding is required with the qualification package itself.

The contract incorporates Small, Minority, and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (S/M/WBE) participation goals and encourages participation from disadvantaged enterprises as applicable. The annual contract may be awarded for up to five years with an initial not-to-exceed cumulative amount of $5,000,000, with individual work orders typically valued at less than $100,000, though larger projects are possible. The County maintains an open qualification process, allowing additional qualified contractors to be added at any time during the contract term, enabling contractors to submit applications throughout the five-year period. Contractors must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, maintain workers' compensation insurance, register with the County's Vendor Self-Service system, and demonstrate no pattern of construction-related litigation or default on previous contracts. Contract documents and qualification applications are available through the County's Vendor Self-Service (VSS) system at https://pbcvssp.co.palm-beach.fl.us/webapp/vssp/AltSelfService or by contacting FDO-CID-Bids@pbcgov.org or (561) 233-0261. This opportunity is funded with non-federal funds and offers significant potential for qualified contractors to participate in a multi-year contract with anticipated consistent workflow across county facilities.
