Perdido_Key_Sign_Dimensions.png

This is a project specification file for the Johnson's Beach Information Signs project managed by the Escambia County Facilities Management Department in Florida. The project involves the installation of two concrete pads and digital reader board signs at two distinct locations: the southwest end of Theo Barr's Bridge and the Perdido Key Park 2 entrance. The signs are Watchfire reader boards, model #2219iSA, measuring 41" x 87", with installation of complete power connections required, including boring under Perdido Key Drive for the northern sign and connection to an existing pole for the southern sign. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 7, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at the Gulf Island National Seashore Warehouse, with written questions due by January 9, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Bid submissions must be submitted electronically by January 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The project must be substantially completed within 60 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with an additional 30 days permitted for final completion. Liquidated damages of $904.00 per calendar day will be assessed for failure to meet completion deadlines.

Bids must be submitted as lump sum pricing with itemized costs across six line items covering concrete footings, sign installation, power connections, and a 10% owner's contingency. Contractors are required to provide a bid surety equal to 5% of the total bid price and, if awarded, submit performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the contract value. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation, general liability with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and business auto liability of $1,000,000 per accident. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, and no incumbent contractor information is referenced. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive insurance and bonding requirements indicate a project of significant scale and complexity.
