This file contains a Concrete Request for Information (RFI) Plans document for the Carl Pugh Park Drainage Improvements project being procured by the Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Green Cove Springs, Florida. The project addresses critical flooding and standing water issues at the park through grading of baseball outfields, construction of a stormwater pond, installation of yard drains and piping systems, and site restoration. The scope comprises 26 line items, including 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 located at 317 South West Street. The inquiry deadline is April 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., with electronic bid submission required by April 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Bid opening is scheduled for April 28, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., with an 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 of $500 per day assessed for work extending past the final completion date.

Qualified and licensed contractors must hold valid Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation licenses and complete a minimum of 40 percent of the work with their own workforce. All bidders must submit a five percent bid bond payable to Clay County, with the original required within two business days after the bid due date. Performance and payment bonds are required only if the contract exceeds $200,000, at which point a 100 percent performance bond must be filed prior to work commencement. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate, business automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and workers' compensation at statutory limits. The County maintains local preference and buy American policies applicable to this procurement. No specific contract value is disclosed in the procurement materials, though the performance bond contingency threshold suggests anticipated complexity. The contractor is responsible for all permits and fees and must provide a two-year warranty on all workmanship and materials beginning from substantial completion. Evaluation prioritizes the lowest responsive bid from a responsible bidder, with the County reserving the right to engage in value engineering discussions prior to award.
