This is an Addendum document for the Golden Gem Utility Improvements project issued by the City of Umatilla, Florida. Addendum #3 modifies the project scope by removing a 4" water service line from the C-300 specification and reallocating it to the Lake Ferns Industrial plans. The original Golden Gem Utility Improvements project involves construction of new water lines, sewer lines, pavement reconstruction, and general restoration along North/South Golden Gem Drive from Cayman Circle to East/West Golden Gem Drive. The project requires installation of 10" and 12" PVC/HDPE water mains, 6" PVC force mains, gate valves, and associated infrastructure components. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on January 16, 2025, with sealed bids due by February 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. The City Council is scheduled to review bids on March 4, 2025, and approve the final contract on March 18, 2025, with a Notice to Proceed expected prior to March 31, 2025.

Bidders must submit two physical copies and one digital copy of their bids and obtain bid documents from DPS Apopka for a non-refundable fee. The project is supported by approximately $900,000 in grant funding, though the total project budget will be established through the bidding process. Contractors must provide a 110% Payment & Performance Bond and comply with the General Wage Decision (GWD FL20250119 HEAVY 01.03.25) for applicable labor rates. All subcontractors must be comprehensively listed on Section 00301-A forms.
