Window treatments, repair, replacement and/or installation

Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners has issued a Request for Pre-Qualification (RPQ) for vendors to provide window treatments repair, replacement, and installation services on a 60-month term contract basis. The procurement seeks to establish a pre-qualified vendor list for the purchase, repair, replacement, and/or installation of window treatments, including horizontal/vertical louver blinds, shades, panel tracks, and motorized operators at various Palm Beach County locations, including facilities in the Glades area. Qualified vendors must demonstrate three professional references for similar services completed within the past two years and maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence ($5,000,000 for Palm Beach International Airport projects) along with Workers' Compensation Insurance in accordance with Florida Statute Chapter 440. Individual projects may not exceed $99,999, with projects at or exceeding $150,000 to be separately solicited through formal competitive sealed bid processes; pricing will be determined on a project-by-project basis, with awards made to the vendor offering the lowest fixed price through the County's competitive quotation process. The initial pre-qualification deadline is May 15, 2030, at 4:00 p.m., though new vendors may submit qualifications at any time thereafter, and the County will conduct site inspections on a project-by-project basis when applicable. Evaluation criteria emphasize contractor qualifications, experience, pricing competitiveness, and ability to meet service delivery timelines, with best value analysis considering both cost and qualifications in award decisions.

The procurement is subject to the Palm Beach County Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Program, with a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) price preference of 10 percent applicable to goods and other services contracts, and all pre-qualification responses must include completed Subcontractor/Subconsultant Schedules 1 and 2 demonstrating compliance with SBE, minority business enterprise (MBE), and women business enterprise (WBE) requirements. Vendors must comply with federal requirements including Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage provisions for construction over $2,000, E-Verify employment eligibility verification, debarment and suspension certifications, and the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment, as the contract is funded in whole or in part with federal funds awarded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. All vendors must also comply with Palm Beach County's Criminal History Records Check Ordinance for unescorted access to critical or criminal justice information facilities. The overall estimated contract value is $220,000 throughout the 60-month term contract period, providing a substantial opportunity for qualified vendors in the window treatment services industry. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are listed in the available solicitation documents, and no specialized technology integration requirements are identified beyond standard window treatment installation and maintenance capabilities.
