APPENDIX I - MAPS.pdf

Appendix I contains site maps for the Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest road improvement project administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The project involves paving and repairing approximately two miles of forest roads located in Felda, Florida. The maps provided show the detailed layout and boundaries of the work areas designated as sections 25 to 26 within the state forest, serving as essential reference documents for bidders to understand the scope and location of the road improvement work. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 2, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the project site located at 6265 County Road 832, Felda, FL. Sealed bids are due by December 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM, with public bid opening on December 19, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The entire construction must be completed by June 30, 2026, with all work to be completed within the designated 12-month contract period.

Bidders must submit a signed Certification of Site Visit and provide three references from similar projects completed within the last five years. For contracts exceeding $100,000, contractors must provide a 5% bid bond guarantee and a 100% performance bond. All completed roads must meet FDOT specifications with a width of 16.5 feet, a centerline crown slope of 2-3%, and four inches of compacted lime rock base. Contractors are responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and supervision, with a mandatory one-year warranty required on completed work. The contract award will be based on the lowest total project price from a responsive and responsible bidder. Liquidated damages are assessed at $250 per calendar day for delays beyond the completion date. The project allows for potential mileage adjustments up to 20% at the same unit price, with the possibility of additional work within the forest at the same rate.
