The scope of work includes comprehensive demolition and removal of damaged infrastructure such as wooden boardwalks, beach access stairs, concrete sidewalks, trap bags, and debris, followed by construction of replacement seawalls using concrete sheet pile construction with sand backfill, concrete walkways, wooden beach access stairs with landings, aluminum guiderails, native dune plantings, and site restoration. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Beach Safety Lifeguard Headquarters in Daytona Beach with virtual Microsoft Teams participation available. The question submission deadline is February 5, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., and sealed bids must be submitted electronically through the County's eProcurement Portal by 3:00 p.m. on February 19, 2026. Contractors must achieve substantial completion within 120 days and final completion within 150 days, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per day for delays beyond substantial completion.

The estimated construction cost for the combined three-location project is $2,112,580.80, with pricing structured as unit prices multiplied by estimated quantities on the bid price sheet. The project is FEMA-funded and subject to federal compliance requirements including Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements, Equal Employment Opportunity standards, the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, Clean Air Act compliance, and domestic material preferences. Contractors must provide a bid bond of not less than five percent of the total bid amount valid for 120 days and payment and performance bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price upon award.
