The Invitation to Bid (ITB-LD 108-2025) seeks qualified contractors to perform extensive pool and spa renovation services, including draining the pool, removing existing equipment, resurfacing with Florida stucco, replacing decking, installing new mechanical and electrical systems, and completing final inspections.

A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 24, 2025, at 10:30 AM ET, with bid submissions due by October 6, 2025. The project requires contractors to hold specific licenses, including Residential/Commercial Pool Contractor, General Contractor, Building Contractor, or Residential Contractor.

The work must commence within 30 calendar days of receiving the purchase order and be completed within 60 calendar days, with all work performed Monday through Friday during normal business hours.

The solicitation provides a preference for Seminole Tribal Member and STOFI-owned businesses, allowing up to a 3-4% price differential for qualified vendors. Contractors must provide evidence of appropriate licensure, maintain current liability insurance and workers' compensation (or proof of exemption), and obtain necessary permits including Pool/Pool Resurface and Deck Permits. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the Schedule of Values requires bidders to complete detailed line items covering general conditions, supervision, and specific pool rehabilitation tasks. The project includes comprehensive requirements such as installing a Jandy Aqualink Pool & Spa Kit and adhering to Miami-Dade building standards.
