3 Do I need a General Contractor’s License to bid on this project?

A certified general contractor or certified building contractor license issued by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB), or a registered general contractor or registered builder license issued by Volusia County is required to perform the structural work. A copy of the license must be submitted with the response.

4 My company has a painting contractor’s license. Are we eligible to bid on this project?

Vendors without the licenses listed in #3 above would need to partner with a licensed contractor to perform for the structural repair work. A copy of the partnering agreement and copy of the license must be submitted with the response.

5 Will the engineer who performed the original engineering study be involved?

No.

6 Will we be required to have another engineering study performed?

Vendors will need to assess the current condition of the facility and determine what repairs required. If the Vendor believes that an engineer is required to make that assessment, they should include the work and cost in their response. Engineering consultation required to assess hidden damage discovered after the work has begun will be addressed through a change order.

Yes. Appointments may be made to visit the site by contacting the Procurement Officer.
