About this file
This is a Certification Regarding Lobbying document required for the City of New Smyrna Beach's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) project to elevate six flood-prone homes in Volusia County, Florida. The certification applies because the contract is anticipated to exceed $100,000 and involves federal appropriated funds. The project requires contractors to elevate six single-family homes located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) classified as Zone "AE" to 10 feet above existing ground level. The properties are situated at 455 DeSoto Drive, 645 Goodwin Avenue, 647 Goodwin Avenue, 508 South Indian River Road, 529 South Peninsula Avenue, and 640 South Pine Street. 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 must be submitted electronically by January 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with bid opening occurring at 3:00 PM the same day. All work must be completed by October 31, 2026, in compliance with FEMA grant requirements.
Contractors bidding on this project must certify that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal agency officers, Congressional members, or their employees in connection with the contract award. If non-federal funds are used for lobbying purposes, contractors must complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying." The certification is a material representation of fact, and submission is a prerequisite for contract award. Contractors and subcontractors must include this certification language in all subaward documents and require subrecipients to certify and disclose accordingly. Failure to file the required certification subjects the contractor to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure. The project is 75% federally funded through FEMA's HMGP program, with 25% funded by the City of New Smyrna Beach and homeowners. Contractors must provide bid security of 10% of the total bid amount, maintain active Sam.Gov registration, be registered with the Florida Department of State, be licensed in Volusia County, and comply with E-Verify requirements. Required insurance includes Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Automobile Liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Professional Liability of $1,000,000. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,694 per calendar day for work not completed by the deadline.
