This is a Location Map file related to an Invitation to Bid issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) for aquatic fence construction, refencing, and removal services across the St. Johns River system in Leon County and nine additional Florida counties. The procurement encompasses three distinct service categories: new aquatic enclosure construction, refencing of existing enclosures, and complete removal of fencing materials, with approximately 90 percent of work concentrated in Lake George. Pricing is submitted on a per-1,300-linear-foot basis for each service with separate line items for materials and labor. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for February 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET, with a written questions deadline of February 18, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Sealed bids must be submitted by March 2, 2026, at 3:30 PM ET at the FWC Purchasing office in Tallahassee, with public opening immediately following. Prospective bidders are required to conduct mandatory site visits prior to submission. The anticipated award date was originally March 5, 2026, but has been delayed with a new anticipated Notice of Intent to Award posting date of Monday, March 9, 2026. The contract term spans two years from Purchase Order issuance with possible extension under Force Majeure circumstances.

Payment is based on linear feet of work completed as verified by GPS measurement, with partial invoices permitted every two weeks during active construction. All bidders must be registered in MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) and SunBiz prior to bid opening, and contractors must maintain a minimum production standard of 1,300 linear feet per day or face daily liquidated damages of $100. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or small business designations are identified; however, subcontracting is permitted with submission of a List of Subcontractors and Subcontractor Minority Status Report with each invoice. All materials, labor, equipment, and disposal of removed materials at legal landfills or recycling facilities are the contractor's responsibility. Work shall be performed weekdays during daylight hours with suspension during unsafe weather conditions. Budget parameters and award values are not disclosed in the procurement announcement; however, the scope encompasses extensive aquatic fencing work across ten counties, suggesting a substantial contract value.
