Seminole County Fire Station 43 Window and Door Replacement

Seminole County is seeking a qualified General or Building Contractor to complete a comprehensive window and door replacement project at Fire Station 43, located at 110 E. 7th Street in Chuluota, Florida. The project requires removing existing windows, storefront door, and exterior hurricane shutters and replacing them with hurricane-rated, impact-resistant windows and doors that conform to High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards and Florida Building Code requirements. The procurement is structured as a turn-key contract where the selected contractor will be responsible for design drawings, permit acquisition, installation, and complete site restoration. Contractors must provide a two-year installation warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties, with work to be conducted during normal weekdays from 8am to 5pm. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting was held on October 18, 2022, with questions due by October 21, 2022, and final proposal submissions required by November 2, 2022, at 2:00 pm Eastern Time. The bid evaluation will use a pass/fail method across four equally weighted criteria: bidder's ability and capacity to perform work, character and integrity, quality of previous performance, and reference checks.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs) and requires contractors to comply with specific regulatory requirements, including E-Verify system registration for work authorization verification. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation ($1,000,000 per accident), Commercial General Liability ($2,000,000 aggregate), and Business Auto Policy ($1,000,000 each occurrence). The project may involve FEMA funding, which introduces additional compliance requirements related to federal regulations, including provisions from the Davis-Bacon Act, Clean Air Act, and requirements for materials produced in the United States. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is structured as a firm fixed lump sum contract covering all direct and indirect costs including materials, labor, equipment, transportation, and incidental expenses. Seminole County reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to make multiple or partial awards as deemed in the best interest of the county.
