Corrections BRC Security Controls and Building E Secure Door & Lock Replacement Construction Project

Orange County is soliciting bids for the Corrections BRC Security Controls and Building E Secure Door & Lock Replacement Construction Project under solicitation number Y26-750, with a submission deadline of June 30, 2026. The project, estimated at $7 million, involves the selective demolition and replacement of sliding trap door mechanisms and controls in Building E along with full electrical installation including wire, conduit, circuit protection, and accessories. All work must comply with technical specifications outlined in the Project Manual, drawing sets including campus site plans and building floor plans, and adhere to strict protocols for detention electronic systems integration. Submittals must include CD-ROMs with graphic and textual materials, software licenses, backup copies, scheduling documentation using conventional Critical Path Method techniques, quality-control reports, and administrative records such as permits and inspection certifications. The contract requires full compliance with Florida state laws, Orange County ordinances, Chapter 119 public records statutes, and Section 812.081 trade secret protections, while all records must be retained for five years after final payment. Contractors must maintain insurance on a primary basis with A.M. Best’s A- Class VIII rated carriers and provide Bid, Payment, and Performance Bonds. Due to the corrections facility setting, contractors must submit a Gate Pass Authorization form five days prior to project start, prohibit weapons and inmate contact, and restrict storage to approved areas. Scope changes are reserved exclusively to the Capital Projects Project Manager, and contractors must designate key personnel and coordinate all RFIs and meetings. All responses must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov platform; hand delivery, mail, fax, or email is not permitted. Pricing must include all costs—mobilization capped at 2.5% of contract value, permits, insurance, overhead, and profit—and failure to price all unit items or bid alternatives will lead to non-responsiveness. The award will be based on the lowest aggregate bid price without consideration of substitutes or “or equal” items. Payment will be made via progress payments based on contractor applications and project manager certifications, invoiced in duplicate with mandatory metadata including invoice number, contractor name, pay-to address, contract and purchase order numbers, and payment amount. Compliance with ADA standards and an anti-human trafficking affidavit are mandatory. The project is administered by Orange County’s Administrative Services, Capital Projects Division, under the leadership of the Procurement Division Manager, with point of contact details provided for submissions and inquiries.
