About this file

This is an addendum to an Invitation to Bid issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for the Apalachicola Bay Oyster Restoration project, designated as FWC 26/27-31. The addendum, issued on October 26, 2026, revises the Scope of Work, provides a revised price sheet, and addresses 21 questions submitted by potential bidders. The project requires contractors to acquire, deliver, stage, and deploy restoration material via barge to designated oyster reef sites in Apalachicola Bay, located in Franklin County, Florida, south of the John Gorrie Bridge and east of the St. George Island/Bryant Patton Memorial Bridge. The scope includes deployment of a minimum of 26,666 cubic yards of approved restoration material (uniformly sized concrete, mixed-layer concrete, or crushed lime rock) across two parallel restoration sites measuring 300 yards by 100 yards by 16 inches in height, totaling 12.4 acres, as well as dispersal of existing restoration material from 2024 projects to reduce site heights. Sealed bids are due by November 3, 2026, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, with a mandatory pre-bid conference held on October 14, 2026. All work must be completed by September 1, 2027, with work occurring only between May 1 and September 1 on weekdays (excluding state holidays) between sunrise and 30 minutes before sunset Eastern Time.

Contractors must provide their own staging areas, shallow-draft barges capable of navigating waters as shallow as three feet, qualified vessel operators with appropriate licensing, and all necessary equipment for material deployment. The price sheet requires bidders to quote a single price per cubic yard for material delivery, staging, and all labor, with the lowest responsive and responsible bid receiving the award. Contractors must demonstrate three completed projects deploying material from a barge in shallow environments within the past eight years and submit a current materials laboratory assay dated within 60 days of award confirming material specifications. The revised scope clarifies that subcontracting is not permitted, QuickReef mixture is not acceptable, USL&H insurance is not required, as-built drawings and bathymetric surveys are not required, and the material dispersal component from Section 4.3 has been canceled. Financial consequences apply for underperformance, including reduced payment or no payment if minimum quantities or heights are not met. The contractor may request one no-cost completion date extension not to exceed September 30, 2027, if justified and approved by the FWC Contract Manager. All contractors must be registered in MyFloridaMarketPlace and SunBiz prior to bid opening.
