This is Addendum Number 2 issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for Invitation to Bid (ITB) FFS 25-26-61, which solicits competitive bids for the installation of a comprehensive irrigation system at Withlacoochee State Forest in Brooksville, Florida. The project encompasses approximately 128 acres and requires installation of 3,000 linear feet of six-inch Schedule 40 PVC main distribution lines, 8,500 linear feet of four-inch Schedule 40 PVC feeder lines, 283 two-inch PVC risers, ten four-inch valves, six flush-out stations, 94 rolls of one-inch polyline, and 3,920 Maxi-jet misters with integrated dripline. Addendum 2 revises the original timeline with the following key dates: the last day for bidders to submit questions is January 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM; written responses to bidder questions will be posted by January 28, 2026; sealed bids are due February 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM at the Mayo Building in Tallahassee; and the public bid opening is scheduled for February 9, 2026, at 10:00 AM. A recommended site visit window extends from January 15-28, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Withlacoochee State Forest, with scheduling through Gerri Velazquez at (352) 797-4124. The addendum emphasizes that site visits are strongly recommended for bidders to assess local conditions affecting bid preparation and project costs.
Bidders must possess licenses for irrigation system installation under Florida Chapter 489, Part I and provide unit pricing per linear foot plus total project pricing. For bids exceeding $100,000, contractors must submit a 5% bid bond and 100% performance bond, maintain comprehensive insurance with the State of Florida listed as additional insured, and provide a minimum of three references from similar projects completed within the past five years. The project requires turnkey installation with 120 calendar days for completion—100 days for substantial completion and 20 days for project close-out—with liquidated damages set at $250 per calendar day for delays. All materials, including fittings, glue, cleaners, hose clamps, and elbows, are the contractor's responsibility, and a one-year written warranty on all parts and labor is required. The solicitation does not disclose a specific budget range or identify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises.
