Revised_Submittal_Checklist_ITB_24-29_Glendale_Fire_Station.pdf

This is a Revised Submittal Checklist for Walton County, Florida's Glendale Fire Station construction project (ITB No. 24-29). The project involves the construction of a new 8,120-square-foot pre-fabricated and engineered steel and wood fire station for Walton County Fire Rescue, located on a 7.58-acre undeveloped site northeast of the intersection of SR-83 and County Highway 2. The project scope encompasses mechanical, electrical, plumbing, building construction, and site work, with the facility designed to include garage areas, bunk rooms, living quarters, administrative spaces, and support facilities meeting 2017 Florida Building Code standards. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held on April 30, 2024, with the final deadline for submitting questions being May 6, 2024, at 12:00 Noon. Sealed bids were originally due by 3:00 P.M. on May 16, 2024, but were subsequently extended to May 23, 2024, with bids to be publicly opened and read aloud immediately following submission. The project allows 220 calendar days for substantial completion from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $1,700 per day for substantial completion delays and $850 per day for final completion delays.

Bidders must be licensed General Contractors in accordance with Walton County Ordinance 2009-01 and are required to submit a 5% bid bond along with performance and payment bonds. The estimated project cost is approximately $2.8 million, with the county having budgeted the full amount for this initiative. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a notarized Bid Form and Schedule, proof of registration with the State of Florida Division of Corporations, previous experience and current commitments, subcontractor and supplier declarations, trench safety compliance forms, Public Entity Crimes Forms, drug-free workplace certifications, Unauthorized Aliens Forms, and Conflict of Interest Disclosure Forms. Failure to submit all required forms, including the submittal checklist, will result in the bid being deemed non-responsive. Water and sewer services are currently unavailable at the site, necessitating comprehensive infrastructure development as part of the project. Local vendor preference considerations apply, and contractors must obtain a County Building Permit prior to commencement of work.
