This document is a legal notice published in the Orlando Sentinel for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ 24/25-01) issued by the City of Sanford, Florida for the Marina Isle Seawall Reconstruction project. The solicitation invites qualified, licensed firms to submit competitive sealed proposals for designing and engineering seawall repairs at the Downtown Sanford Marina. The project involves reconstructing approximately 2,024 feet of seawall, raising the elevation by two feet to enhance flood protection. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM at City Hall, with sealed responses due by 2:00 PM on Thursday, June 26, 2025, to the Purchasing Division.

The project is funded through a $5,000,000 U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration Economic Adjustment Assistance grant, with a total project cost estimated at $7,163,762, including the City's 20% cost share of $1,432,752.45. The preliminary construction cost estimate is $5,731,009.80, with additional allocations for engineering design, permitting, and inspection services. The selected firm will be responsible for comprehensive design services, including program completion, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, construction administration, grant administration, and a one-year warranty period. The reconstruction aims to address damages from Hurricane Ian in 2022 and improve the marina's resilience against future storms.
