Window Shades

Broward County Parks and Recreation is requesting bids for the supply, delivery, and installation of window shades at Anne Kolb Nature Center in Hollywood, Florida, with proposals due July 29, 2026. This is a fixed-price contract; vendor responses must be submitted electronically through BPRO (Bonfire platform) by the closing date and time, and the County will not consider responses received by other means.

The scope covers 32 manual roller window shades installed across 13 distinct locations in Mangrove Hall at Anne Kolb Nature Center. Specifications call for Phifer 2410 and 2500 or approved-equal shades in charcoal color with semi-open square cassette hardware and sealed hembars. Window dimensions range from 28 to 74 inches in width and 32 to 95 inches in height, with opacity ratings of 1% or 3% depending on location. The vendor is responsible for final site measurements prior to fabrication and for completing installation within 30 calendar days of purchase order receipt during Monday–Friday hours, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, excluding county holidays. All supply, delivery, handling, setup, and installation costs must be included in the unit price on an F.O.B. Destination basis. Coordination with Project Manager Jeff Crowley (954-357-5173 or jcrowley@broward.org) and a complete site walkthrough prior to work commencement are required.

The contract term is three years from award, with the County holding an option to renew for up to two additional one-year terms, not to exceed five years total unless extended by Board action. Award shall be made to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor. Vendors must carry General Liability of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, Auto Liability of $500,000 combined single limit, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and Employer's Liability of $100,000 per accident, with Broward County named as an additional insured. Proof of insurance must be submitted with the response or within three business days of written request; failure to submit renders the vendor nonresponsive. Vendors must also submit a completed Vendor Questionnaire confirming non-debarment status, current manufacturer authorization, non-collusion, and acceptance of Visa credit card payment with no additional fees.
