The District is a political subdivision of the State of Florida which was established as an independent taxing district by special law approved by Palm Beach County voters (Palm Beach County Health Care Act, 1988). The District was founded in 1988 to ensure access to a comprehensive health care system and the delivery of quality services for the residents of Palm Beach County. The District accomplishes its mission through various programs and services, including an integrated Trauma System, School Nurse program, Skilled Nursing Facility, and Lakeside Medical Center, its hospital located in rural, western Palm Beach County.

Disqualification of a Respondent does not eliminate this right. The selected Respondents will be offered a contract for the implementation and installation of the security system.

The Respondent shall maintain during the term of the contract, standard Professional Liability Insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 per occurrence.
