This file contains contract plans and components for drainage improvements at Carl Pugh Park, a project solicited by the Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Green Cove Springs, Florida. The project addresses critical flooding and standing water issues affecting the park's playing fields and spectator areas through grading of baseball outfields, construction of a stormwater pond, furnishing and installation of yard drains and piping systems, and site restoration. The scope comprises 26 line items including general conditions, landscape and site preparation, and drainage components, with specific quantities such as 1,095 linear feet of eight-inch ADS single wall pipe and 780 cubic yards of onsite grading. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 9, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the park site, with an inquiry deadline of April 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Electronic bid submission closes on April 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., followed by bid opening on April 28, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., with estimated Board recommendation on May 12, 2026. The contractor must achieve substantial completion within 120 days from notice to proceed and final completion within 30 days thereafter, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per day for work extending past the final completion date.

Qualified and licensed contractors must hold valid Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation licenses pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 489 and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws including OSHA requirements and drug-free workplace policies. All bidders must submit a five percent bid bond and the contractor must complete a minimum of 40 percent of the work with its own workforce and provide comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, business automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and workers' compensation at statutory limits. Performance and payment bonds are not required for projects of $200,000 or less; if the contract exceeds this threshold, a 100 percent performance and payment bond must be filed prior to commencement of work. Evaluation criteria prioritize the lowest responsive bid submitted by a responsible and responsive bidder, with Clay County maintaining a local preference policy and a buy American policy. The contractor is responsible for obtaining all permits and fees, maintaining a safe work site with daily debris removal, and providing a two-year warranty on all workmanship and materials beginning from the date of substantial completion.
