All components must comply with specified material gauges—14-gauge for tops, 16-gauge for shelves, and 18-gauge for bodies and doors—with smooth, polished welds, no sharp edges, and adjustable bullet feet. Fabrication must strictly follow approved shop drawings, and installation must occur on-site without disrupting station operations, with final acceptance requiring approval from the City’s Project Manager and user department. Delivery is FOB Destination, with the contractor bearing all risk of loss until formal acceptance.

Pricing is not pre-defined, but quotations must remain firm for 180 days from the solicitation opening date, and awards will be made based primarily on price, with the City retaining discretion to select the offer in its best interest. Contractors must be registered with the Florida Department of State and meet mandatory certifications including non-collusion, non-debarment, and disclosure of litigation history, as well as compliance with Florida statutes on foreign country of concern restrictions, E-Verify employment verification, and drug-free workplace policies. A performance bond is required, and all work must meet or exceed applicable federal, state, county, and local building, safety, and environmental codes. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, materials, transportation, disposal of waste, and removal of packaging, and may face liquidated damages for missed deadlines. The City reserves the right to extend the contract by up to 90 days but has not specified any funding codes, payment office details, or electronic invoicing systems, and no formal COR, COTR, or PCO has been identified in the documentation.
