About this file
This document is a Direct Owner Purchasing Program (DOPP) administrative procedures guide for the Town of Palm Beach applicable to the Progressive Design-Build Services for the Mid-Town Seawall Replacement Project. The program establishes the framework whereby the Town will purchase specified materials and equipment, with the design-build contractor responsible for receipt, inspection, coordination, installation, and warranty management of owner-furnished items. The contractor must verify material quantities and documentation upon delivery, inspect shipments for conformity with specifications and defects, coordinate all delivery schedules and unloading logistics, and maintain detailed records of all owner-purchased materials from delivery through incorporation into the work. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit is scheduled for March 31, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST at the Public Works Building in West Palm Beach, with the site visit following at the Worth Avenue Clock Tower in Palm Beach. Proposals must be submitted online through the EUNA Procurement platform, with failure to attend the mandatory meeting resulting in automatic disqualification.
The DOPP establishes that the Town retains title to all owner-purchased materials, with the contractor functioning as a bailee responsible for safeguarding, storing, and protecting materials until incorporation into the project or consumption during completion. The contractor must obtain and maintain insurance covering the full replacement value of owner-purchased equipment and materials not yet incorporated into the work and is responsible for all warranty claims during the contractor's warranty period, with the Town assuming responsibility for warranty issues extending beyond one year. The contractor must complete the work within the contract time based on the delivery schedule defined in the bid documents, with eligibility for time extensions due to material delivery delays. Salvage materials remain the property of the Town, and the contractor is responsible for scheduling and performing all testing, commissioning, and field services associated with owner-purchased equipment, including forwarding all operations and maintenance manuals and warranty documentation to the Town.
