About this file
This is an addendum to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the City of Leesburg, Florida, for the Beecher Street Sidewalk Project (CDBG). The addendum, dated January 7, 2026, provides clarifications and modifications to the original IFB and addresses questions submitted by interested bidders. The project requires construction of a sidewalk on West Beecher Street from Johns Avenue to the Berry Park entrance, including a 5-foot wide, 4-inch thick concrete sidewalk (6 inches at vehicle crossings), ADA-compliant curb ramps, and detectable warning strips. Two non-mandatory pre-bid conferences are scheduled for January 8 and January 22, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. at the Venetian Center in Leesburg. Written specification questions are due by January 12 and January 26, 2026, at 12:00 P.M., with addenda to be issued by January 15 and January 29, 2026, respectively. Bids are due on February 5, 2026, at 11:00 A.M., with bid opening occurring immediately thereafter via Zoom. Bid tabulation will be completed within two working days, with an Intent to Award Recommendation issued by Friday, February 19, 2026.
The City requires a Florida-licensed certified General Contractor (CGC) or certified Building Contractor (CBC) to perform the work. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their proposal submission. The addendum clarifies that contractor qualifications will be evaluated per Section 6.4 of the IFB, addressing concerns raised regarding licensing requirements for civil contractors without CGC or CBC licenses. The project is funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and is subject to federal compliance standards, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and Section 3 provisions. Contractors must provide a 5 percent bid guarantee, 100 percent performance and payment bond, and proof of insurance including $1,000,000 in general liability coverage. The project has a 60-calendar-day timeline for substantial completion with liquidated damages of $904 per day for delays.

DATE: January 7, 2026 TO: All Interested Bidders and Other Interested Parties FROM: Hosea Goodwyn, Procurement Manager
The City makes the following changes, additions, deletions, information, and/or clarifications and now considers the addendum a part of the IFB Document. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by indicating receipt in the space provided on the Proposal Bid Form.
If the bidder has already submitted the Proposal Bid Form to the City’s Procurement Division, the Bidder should revise their electronic submission to include this addendum. In any case, the submission of a bid is an acknowledgment of receipt of the addendum. The City will construe all bids received as though the Bidder has received and acknowledged the addendum.
Below is the City’s reply to RFIs (Request for Information – a/k/a bid inquiries or questions) submitted by interested parties by the posted deadline to submit RFIs.
Q1. Concrete is a specialty for our team but we're a civil contractor not a GC. CGC or CBC licenses are typically required for building structures taller than 5ft. Can we still submit a bid without these licenses?
A1. Submissions will be evaluated per Section 6.4 (Contractor Qualifications and Evaluation of Bidder).
The following changes are hereby made part of the solicitation.
