The project encompasses the replacement of fountain systems at two locations: the Jail Pond (requiring a 5 HP horizontal fountain) and Building F Pond (requiring a 1 HP horizontal fountain), along with shoreline stabilization at Building F Pond consisting of approximately 300 linear feet of heavy-duty erosion control geotextile fabric and 6"-12" riprap stone installation. The procurement is being conducted through a Quick Quote informal bidding process. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 12, 2025, at 10:00 am, with vendor questions due by December 2, 2025, and final bid submissions required through the Collier County Procurement Services Online Bidding System by December 4, 2025. The contract is structured as a one-time purchase with firm pricing for comprehensive lump sum deliverables at each pond location.

Vendors must submit extensive documentation including a W-9, E-Verify MOU, Sunbiz record, and geotextile fabric specifications, with the contract awarded to the responsive vendor submitting the lowest quote. All work must be performed in full compliance with industry standards and applicable codes, with vendors required to carry workers' compensation, employer's liability, commercial general liability, and automobile liability insurance naming Collier County as an additional insured. For projects exceeding $200,000, performance and payment bonds from a surety rated "A-" or better are required.
