Atlantic Avenue in Daytona Beach Shores. The project encompasses reconstruction of a vehicular beach access ramp destroyed during Hurricane Ian in 2022, including concrete sheet pile seawall panels with prestressed strands, concrete caps, reinforced concrete vehicular ramp, curbing, pedestrian sidewalk, site restoration, landscaping, pavement markings, and signage. The non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 16, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., with a deadline for submitting questions on March 26, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Sealed bids are due April 9, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., submitted electronically through the County's eProcurement Portal. The contractor must achieve substantial completion within 120 days and final completion within 150 days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $1,000 per day for delays. Award will be made to the single lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with anticipated award in May 2026.

The total estimated project cost is $2,041,339, including a 20 percent contingency of $340,223, with 16 line items featuring combined unit and lump sum pricing for mobilization/demobilization ($130,000), sheet-pile seawall ($924,000), reinforced concrete ramp ($131,556), sand fill, heavy-duty concrete, curbing, sidewalk, bond costs, flood insurance ($100,000), and site restoration ($60,000). Payment terms are 20 to 25 business days from invoice receipt in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 218.735. All contractors and subcontractors must hold current Florida-licensed general contractor status and comply with federal contract provisions applicable to FEMA-funded projects, including Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements. A 5 percent bid bond and a Payment and Performance Bond equal to 100 percent of the contract price are required at award. The project benefits from a County of Volusia Consumer's Certificate of Exemption from Florida sales and use tax, resulting in approximately 6 percent savings on material costs through deductive change orders. Contractors must enroll in E-Verify and maintain specified insurance coverage including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability with $1,000,000 per occurrence limits, and Contractors' Pollution Liability with $1,000,000 limits.
