Description
Palm Beach County is seeking to pre‑qualify a pool of HVAC contractors for a lump‑sum, term‑contract arrangement. The pre‑qualification process will create a list of approved vendors who can be called upon for HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance projects across the county. Vendors must be registered in the County’s Vendor Self‑Service system, possess all required state and local licenses, carry appropriate insurance, and comply with non‑discrimination, public‑records, and security requirements.
