Description
Palm Beach County is seeking to pre‑qualify vendors who can supply, install, and service a wide range of park equipment and related parts under a term contract. Vendors must submit a sealed, signed pre‑qualification package by the deadline, demonstrate compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations (including safety standards, non‑discrimination policies, and criminal‑history checks), and maintain required licenses, permits, and business tax receipts. The pre‑qualification will place successful vendors on a list from which future park‑equipment purchase orders (each not exceeding $99,999) may be issued. The solicitation emphasizes Small/Minority/Women‑Owned Business (S/M/WBE) participation, local preference for businesses located in Palm Beach County or the Glades, and strict adherence to public‑records and audit requirements.
• Supplies and installs park equipment (playground, water‑park, demolition, disposal, etc.) and related parts.
• Term contract – vendors can be called on for multiple projects over the contract life.
• Submission deadline: 4:00 PM, October 7 2021 (sealed, signed package).
• Mandatory vendor registration in Palm Beach County’s Vendor Self‑Service (VSS) system.
• Required certifications: business tax receipt, applicable state/federal licenses, S/M/WBE certification (if applicable), insurance, and criminal‑history check for personnel accessing critical facilities.
• No specific project duration or award date disclosed; contracts are awarded on a project‑by‑project basis after pre‑qualification.
• Emphasis on compliance with ANSI, NFPA, and other safety standards; all equipment must meet applicable codes.
• Primary contact: Leelah Parsons, Buyer, Purchasing Department.
