This is a procurement specification document for Collier County Procurement Services in Florida regarding government campus pond fountain replacements and related work. The project involves replacing existing fountain systems at two locations on the county's main government campus in Naples, Florida: the Jail Pond and Building F Pond. The deliverables include removing existing fountains and installing new 5 HP and 1 HP horizontal fountains at the respective locations, along with shoreline stabilization at Building F Pond consisting of approximately 300 linear feet of heavy-duty erosion control geotextile fabric and 6"-12" riprap stone. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 12, 2025, at 10:00 am. Vendor questions must be submitted by December 2, 2025, with final bids due December 4, 2025, through the Collier County Procurement Services Online Bidding System. The award will be made to the responsive vendor submitting the lowest comprehensive lump sum price for each pond location. This is structured as a one-time purchase with firm pricing and no specified renewal options.

Vendors must submit required documentation including a W-9, E-Verify MOU, Sunbiz record, and geotextile fabric specifications. All work must be performed as all-inclusive, turnkey services encompassing labor, materials, equipment, permits, and incidentals. Extensive insurance coverage is required, including workers' compensation, employer's liability, commercial general liability, and automobile liability, with Collier County named as an additional insured. For projects exceeding $200,000, performance and payment bonds from a surety rated "A-" or better are required. Vendors must be enrolled in the E-Verify program and comply with local, state, and federal regulations. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned. While no precise budget is stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests substantial investment in infrastructure improvement.
