Exhibit I is a survey document related to Volusia County, Florida's Invitation for Bid 26-B-59IF for the reconstruction of the El Portal Vehicular Beach Access Ramp in Daytona Beach Shores. The project involves comprehensive reconstruction of storm-damaged beach access infrastructure destroyed during Hurricane Nicole in 2022, including demolition of existing structures, installation of 64 linear feet of sheet-pile seawall and 104 linear feet of sheet-pile retaining walls with concrete caps, placement of 313 square yards of reinforced concrete ramp and 361 square yards of heavy-duty concrete, installation of 128 linear feet of curbing and 104 square yards of sidewalk, pavement markings, signage, and complete site restoration. The non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 16, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. with a virtual Microsoft Teams option available. Questions must be submitted by March 26, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., with bids due electronically through the County's eProcurement Portal by April 9, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The project requires substantial completion within 120 days and full completion within 150 days, with liquidated damages assessed at $1,000 per day for missed deadlines.

The estimated construction cost is $1,464,420.00, with award determined by lowest responsive and responsible bidder using combined pricing for all line items. Contractors must submit a bid bond equal to 5 percent of total bid price and, upon award, provide Payment and Performance Bonds equal to 100 percent of contract price. The project is FEMA-funded and subject to federal compliance requirements including Davis-Bacon Act wage standards, Clean Air Act compliance, and domestic preference for U.S.-produced iron and steel per Florida Statute 255.0993. No local preference provisions apply due to FEMA funding restrictions, and no specific set-asides exist for disadvantaged or small businesses, though federal requirements mandate affirmative efforts to contract with small and minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms. Construction is prohibited during marine turtle nesting season (May 1 through October 31) per the County's Habitat Conservation Plan, and the contractor must maintain all laydown areas and equipment within the County right-of-way while preserving access and parking to adjacent properties.
