This is Addendum 3 to the Invitation to Bid (ITB# CIP/250996) issued by the City of Ocala, Florida, for the Parking Lot Improvement Program. The addendum, dated January 15, 2026, and issued by Senior Buyer Eileen Marquez, announces significant modifications to the original solicitation. The program seeks an experienced contractor to perform infrastructure rehabilitation services including pavement repaving, asphalt milling, overlays, thermoplastic painting, concrete sidewalk and curb installation, stormwater system repairs, guardrail installation, and utility cut repairs. The solicitation encompasses over 450 line items with varying quantities. The original bid closing date has been extended to January 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The contract will have an initial two-year term with two optional one-year renewals, with projects assigned on an as-requested basis by the City.

The addendum removes the FDOT Pre-Qualification requirement that was previously mandated for work classes including Grading, Flexible Paving, and Hot Plant-Mix Bituminous Courses, in accordance with Florida State Statute 337.14 and Florida Administrative Code 14-22. This represents a major change to the solicitation's qualification criteria. Bidders must still possess three years of experience in roadway resurfacing services. Bidders are required to submit a five percent bid bond, a $250,000 public construction bond, and a maintenance and guarantee bond equal to ten percent of total project value. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 per occurrence commercial general liability and $1,000,000 combined commercial automotive liability. The prime contractor must perform a minimum of 60 percent of work with its own forces. Liquidated damages of $200 per calendar day will be assessed for failure to meet substantial completion deadlines.
