Volusia County Health Department Building Sign

The Florida Department of Health has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the replacement of the building sign at the main Volusia County Health Department facility in Daytona Beach, Florida. The procurement seeks a single vendor to fabricate and install an eight-foot by fifteen-foot monument sign with an integrated programmable LED display. Specific requirements include a lighted sign with composite or faux stone construction and detailed specifications for logo and lettering placement. A mandatory site visit was originally scheduled for October 11, 2024, but was subsequently rescheduled to October 18, 2024, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference immediately following. The bid due date was extended to November 14, 2024, with an anticipated award posting on November 19, 2024. Sealed bids will be publicly opened, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible bidder offering the lowest grand total price, including delivery. The anticipated contract term is one year, commencing on November 1, 2024, or the contract execution date, whichever is later.

The ITB includes provisions for preferences for certified minority, women, and Florida veteran business enterprises, which may provide additional opportunities for qualifying vendors. Bidders are required to maintain specific insurance coverages and indemnify the Department, with no subcontractors permitted. The Department reserves the right to not make an award if deemed in the best interest of the state. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement requires all-inclusive pricing with no additional costs permitted beyond the submitted bid. Vendors must submit a completed price page, prior experience form, and other standard bidding documents. The procurement emphasizes competitive pricing and allows vendors to propose equivalent specifications that meet or exceed the stated requirements. Failure to file a protest within the prescribed timeframe will constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120 of the Florida Statutes.
