This document is a Notice and Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Okahumpka Community Club, Inc. for Phase-2 of the Okahumpka Historic Rosenwald School Restoration Project in Lake County, Florida. The project involves constructing a single-story Concrete Masonry Unit building to be named the Virgil Darnell Hawkins Community Center, with a comprehensive scope of work that includes site preparation, building construction, and final landscaping. The RFP solicits competitive sealed bids from qualified, licensed, and insured contractors, with specific requirements for 17 detailed bid line items covering everything from doors and windows to electrical systems, septic systems, and parking lot construction.

The project is funded through grants from the Florida Department of State's Historic Resources division and a Lake County Community Development Block Grant, with the unique feature of a materials donation from James Hardie Building Products. Bidders are required to submit detailed proposals with individual line-item budgets, including labor and materials, and must be prepared to work within the funding agencies' policies and reporting procedures. Notably, for areas specified with James Hardie products, contractors should only factor in installation labor costs, as materials will be provided. The project emphasizes adherence to architectural plans, with contractors expected to be thoroughly familiar with job site conditions and potential document revisions prior to contract execution.
