The City of Fort Lauderdale is seeking proposals for the replacement of the beach wave wall light system with a decorative LED neon ribbon lighting system. The scope includes furnishing, supplying, and delivering the lighting system, controls, and associated components. Installation will be performed by city personnel, but the vendor must provide technical support, startup assistance, testing, and warranty services. A pre-proposal conference and site visit are scheduled for May 28, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the city's online strategic sourcing platform by June 30, 2026. The contract duration is 120 days from the notice to proceed.
The work shall be substantially completed within ninety 90 calendar days after the date when the contract time commences to run, and finally completed within one hundred twenty 120 calendar days.
A payment schedule, based on mutually agreed-upon deliverables, may be developed with the awarded contractor. Payments will be made utilizing the City's P-Card (Mastercard or Visa).
The proposed lighting system shall include a minimum manufacturer warranty period of five 5 years from the date of installation acceptance by the City.
Proposers must be in the business of providing exterior and outdoor architectural lighting systems, possess sufficient financial capacity, technical support capabilities, and have successfully completed at least three 3 similar projects in the last ten 10 years with a contract value of at least $600,000.
Failure of the successful proposer to execute a contract, provide a performance bond, and furnish evidence of appropriate insurance coverage within thirty 30 days after written notice of award shall be just cause for annulment of the award and forfeiture of the proposal security.
A pre-proposal conference and site visit are scheduled for Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 10:00 am at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatics Complex. Attendance is strongly suggested.
Any proposer not recommended for award may follow the protest procedure within five 5 days after a notice of intent to award is posted.
