Water Heater for OBCC

Halifax Health has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. PROJ-25-148 for a water heater replacement project at the Hospice Ormond Beach Care Center (OBCC) located in Volusia County, Florida. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide and install a 119-gallon commercial electric water heater, which entails complete removal and disposal of the existing unit and installation of a new AO Smith water heater. The water heater must meet specific technical requirements, including 208V AC power, 3 elements totaling 12,000W, and a 150 PSI pressure rating. Bid responses are due on October 31, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, with an anticipated Notice of Intent to Award to be posted on November 28, 2025. Vendors must submit complete pricing on Attachment F, with all line items required to be priced for consideration, and the contract will have an initial base period of one year with options for two additional one-year renewals.

The procurement includes several mandatory vendor certifications, including compliance with Florida Statutes regarding scrutinized companies, public entity crimes, and human trafficking attestations. Vendors must confirm they are not on lists of companies that boycott Israel or conduct business in certain restricted countries, and must provide a sworn statement about their organizational history. Halifax Health is a sales tax-exempt entity, and the successful vendor must provide a minimum 12-month warranty covering parts, labor, and travel. The water heater installation must comply with all applicable codes and Halifax Health standards, with work to be completed during regular business hours. Payment terms are NET 45 days after acceptance of items, and Halifax Health reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities, cancel the bid, or reject any submissions. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the procurement is subject to the availability of funds and appears to be a targeted infrastructure replacement project for the healthcare facility.
