This is a Scope Map document for the Lake Geneva Restoration Project, a Phase I environmental restoration initiative managed 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. The final deadline for inquiries is December 9, 2025, at 4:30 p.m., with bids due December 18, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. and bid opening on December 19, 2025. The estimated recommendation date to the Board of County Commissioners is January 13, 2026. The contract term is twenty-four months from execution, with potential extensions for two additional twelve-month periods. Work is restricted to Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with access limited to four designated access points.

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. A five percent bid bond is required, and if the contract exceeds $200,000, contractors must provide a 100 percent Performance and Payment Bond. Required insurance includes Commercial General Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Liquidated damages are assessed at $100 per day past the final completion date. The project is funded in part by a Florida Department of Environmental Protection Grant Agreement totaling $250,000 with no match requirement from the county. Contractors must comply with all environmental and regulatory requirements, including protections for Eastern Indigo Snakes, Florida Sandhill Cranes, and Gopher Tortoises.
