Volusia County Window Blinds and Installation

Volusia County is soliciting competitive bids for a comprehensive window blinds and installation services contract. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide a range of window treatment solutions, including metal, vertical, wood, and motorized blinds, as well as shades, shutters, drapery, awnings, and cornices. Contractors must conduct thorough site assessments, provide accurate measurements, and ensure compatibility with existing window structures while minimizing disruption to daily office operations. The scope of work encompasses complete removal and disposal of existing blinds, procurement, delivery, and professional installation of new window treatments that meet operational, aesthetic, and energy efficiency requirements. Vendors must be licensed and insured in the State of Florida, with key submission deadlines including a question submission deadline of June 11, 2025 at 11:59 PM and proposal submissions due on June 25, 2025 at 3:00 PM through the County's eProcurement Portal. Contractors are expected to respond to service requests within five business days for site surveys and complete delivery, installation, and training within 14 business days of quote acceptance.

The solicitation includes local business preference provisions, offering a three percent preference for vendors with documented permanent locations in specific Florida counties (Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, or Volusia) for at least six months prior to the solicitation closing, or a two percent preference for contractors with local subcontractors constituting 51 percent or more of the work. The County intends to award multiple vendors under an initial three-year contract term with two optional one-year renewal periods, contingent upon mutual agreement and County Council approval. Respondents are not required to submit pricing for all line items to be considered responsive, and they may petition annually for price adjustments based on documented increases in wages, fuel, or materials using established economic indices. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating workers' compensation coverage, commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and auto liability coverage with a $500,000 combined single limit. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a substantial procurement opportunity for window treatment services across Volusia County government facilities.
