Addendum_#1_-_Lake_Geneva_Restoration_Project_Scope_Map.pdf

This addendum provides a scope map for the Lake Geneva Restoration Project, a Phase I environmental restoration initiative solicited by Clay County, Florida. The project focuses on removing trees measuring four inches or greater in diameter from the exposed lakebed across approximately 342 acres to clear vegetation, improve hydrologic conditions, and prepare the area for future restoration activities. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 4, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at Keystone Heights City Hall, with the final deadline for inquiries on December 9, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. Bids are due December 18, 2025, at 4:30 p.m., with bid opening on December 19, 2025, and an estimated recommendation date to the Board of County Commissioners on January 13, 2026. The contract term is twenty-four months from execution, with potential extensions for two additional twelve-month periods.

The project requires contractors to maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, submit a five percent bid bond, and provide a 100 percent Performance and Payment Bond if the contract exceeds $200,000. Liquidated damages are assessed at $100 per day past the final completion date. Access is limited to four designated access points, and work hours are restricted to Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., unless approved by the County Project Manager. Work must comply with specific protections for protected species including Eastern Indigo Snakes, Florida Sandhill Cranes, and Gopher Tortoises. The project is funded in part by a Florida Department of Environmental Protection Grant Agreement totaling $250,000 with no county match requirement. The bid pricing structure includes a Base Bid covering tree removal and debris consolidation across all five restoration areas, with two alternate bids for volunteer group handling of non-merchantable materials and controlled on-site burning operations.
