This is a survey document associated with Volusia County, Florida's Invitation for Bid 26-B-59IF for the reconstruction of the El Portal Vehicular Beach Access Ramp in Daytona Beach Shores, which was destroyed during Hurricane Nicole in 2022. The project requires construction of composite sheet pile seawall panels, concrete cap, reinforced concrete vehicular ramp, curbing, pedestrian sidewalk, and site restoration, with specific deliverables including demolition of storm-damaged infrastructure, installation of 64 linear feet of sheet-pile seawall and 104 linear feet of sheet-pile retaining walls with concrete caps, placement of 313 square yards of reinforced concrete ramp and 361 square yards of heavy-duty concrete, installation of 128 linear feet of FDOT Type D curbing and 104 square yards of sidewalk, and as-built survey certification. The non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 16, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. with a virtual Microsoft Teams option; the deadline for submitting questions is March 26, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.; and bids must be submitted electronically through the County's eProcurement Portal by April 9, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The contract has a 150-day completion period with substantial completion required in 120 days, and award will be determined by the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on combined pricing for all line items.

The estimated construction cost is $1,464,420.00 (Contract C-2075), with contractors required to submit a bid bond equal to 5 percent of total bid price and, upon award, provide Payment and Performance Bonds equal to 100 percent of contract price per Florida Statute 255.05. The project is FEMA-funded and therefore subject to federal compliance requirements including Davis-Bacon Act wage standards, Clean Air Act compliance, Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment certification, domestic preference for materials, and no local preference provisions. Contractors must comply with all federal, state, and local laws, maintain comprehensive insurance with the County named as additional insured, utilize the E-Verify system for employee verification, and use U.S.-produced iron and steel per Florida Statute 255.0993. The contract does not designate specific set-asides for disadvantaged businesses; however, federal requirements mandate that the contractor make affirmative efforts to contract with small and minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms. The project is subject to integration with existing Florida Department of Environmental Protection permits and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorizations, with construction activity prohibitions during marine turtle nesting season (May 1 through October 31) and required contractor training per Volusia County's Habitat Conservation Plan. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,000 per day for failure to meet completion deadlines.
