This is a FEMA Debarment Certification Form submitted by the City of New Smyrna Beach as the sub-recipient for a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project to elevate six flood-prone single-family homes in Volusia County, Florida. The certification confirms that neither the prospective subcontractor, its principals, nor its affiliates are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this federally-funded transaction. The project, identified as FEMA Project Number H0629 with DEM Contract Number 4337-373-R, involves elevating six residential structures located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) classified as Zone "AE" to 10 feet above existing ground level. The project encompasses comprehensive turnkey services including structural assessments, boundary surveys, geotechnical assessments, construction plans, permitting, and utility disconnection and reconnection. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM via Microsoft Teams, with written questions due by December 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM. Bids are due electronically by January 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with bid opening at 3:00 PM the same day. All work must be completed by October 31, 2026.

The project is 75% federally funded through FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, with the remaining 25% provided by the City of New Smyrna Beach and homeowners. Bidders must provide bid security equal to 10% of the total bid amount and maintain specific insurance requirements, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and Professional Liability ($1,000,000). Contractors must be registered with the Florida Department of State, licensed in Volusia County, maintain active Sam.Gov registration, and comply with E-Verify requirements. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,694 per calendar day for work not completed by the deadline. The procurement encourages participation from disadvantaged business enterprises, including minority business enterprises (MBEs), women's business enterprises (WBEs), veteran-owned businesses (VOBs), and labor surplus area firms.
