CDBG_Reimbursement_Form.pdf

This is a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Reimbursement Form associated with Phase-2 construction of the Virgil Darnell Hawkins Community Center, a project sponsored by the Okahumpka Community Club, Inc. in Lake County, Florida, with funding from the Florida Department of State's Historic Resources division and Lake County Community Development Block Grant programs. The project involves competitive sealed bidding for construction of a single-story Concrete Masonry Unit community center facility with 17 detailed bid line items encompassing structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, site work, and landscaping components. The scope of work includes securing Lake County building permits, site preparation, construction, and final landscaping in accordance with architect-stamped drawings prepared by MAJ Architecture and Design (plan-set 2024-018). The proposal deadline for bid submission is August 12, 2025, with submissions required through the designated website or by email to okahumpkacommunityclubinc@gmail.com. Qualified contractors must be licensed, insured, and experienced, with demonstrated familiarity with job site conditions and project requirements.

The CDBG reimbursement structure requires contractors to submit detailed proposals with individual line-item budgets segregating labor and materials costs. James Hardie Building Products is providing a materials donation for exterior and interior construction, requiring contractors to account only for labor costs associated with installation of these products. All bidders must comply with federal labor standards, including Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements and detailed payroll documentation. Contractors are required to work within the policies, reporting procedures, payment schedules, and documentation requirements of both the Florida Department of State and Lake County, responding to agency requests as mandated. No specific set-aside designations are mentioned, and the procurement appears open to all qualified contractors. The project emphasizes historical preservation and community development, with contractors expected to collaborate closely with project stakeholders and remain prepared for potential bid revisions based on final construction documents.
