Painting of Vacant Units

The Orlando Housing Authority is soliciting bids for the painting of vacant units under solicitation number FYE27-4412, with responses due by August 17, 2026, at 2:00 P.M. EST. Bids must be submitted as a sealed hard-copy package to the agency’s physical address in Orlando, Florida, and are required to follow a strict tabbed binder format with eight sequential tabs containing mandatory forms including the Bidder Profile, HUD-5369, Equal Business Opportunity documentation, and insurance certificates. Electronic submissions are not accepted as primary bids, though electronic transmission of insurance certificates is permitted post-award. The solicitation is structured under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation methodology, meaning award will go to the lowest-priced bidder who is both responsive to all requirements and deemed responsible based on financial stability, reliability, and past performance. Compliance with federal regulations is mandatory, including adherence to the Davis-Bacon Act and Copeland Act through prevailing wage determinations, incorporation of HUD-specific forms such as HUD-51001 for payment estimates and HUD-2992 for debarment certification, and submission of certifications regarding drug-free workplaces, lobbying activities, and payments to influence federal transactions. Work must be performed at designated agency properties in Orlando, with final inspection and acceptance occurring on-site upon completion of all punch list items, submission of as-built drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, and certified payroll records in WD-10 format. Contractors are responsible for all delivery and freight costs to the site, with no FOB terms specified, and payment will be processed through HUD-established forms by the agency’s contracting office, though specific payment details and accounting codes are not provided. The contract requires strict alignment with ADA accessibility standards, Section 3 economic opportunity requirements for minority, women-owned, and resident-owned businesses, and flow-down of equal opportunity provisions to subcontractors, with all bidders expected to certify their small business or socioeconomic status, although no specific designations are disclosed in the submitted materials.
