About this file

This is a Request for Solicitation (RFS) approval form from the Bay County Purchasing Department for the NRDA Phase IV Artificial Reef Project, issued by the Panama City Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau's Coastal Resources Department. The project seeks qualified vendors to construct and deploy multi-sided, prefabricated polyhedral concrete artificial reef modules weighing at least 4,000 pounds at designated locations within Large Area Artificial Reef Site (LAARS) B, offshore of Bay County in the Gulf of Mexico. The modules must comply with Type I and Type II specifications as determined by the Bay County Artificial Reef Program manager. The solicitation is structured as a Request for Proposal (RFP) based on qualifications and price, with a contract term running from June 16, 2026, through September 30, 2026. The form indicates that no pre-bid meeting or mandatory site visit is required, and federal requirements do not apply to this project.

The estimated project budget is $395,000, with funding sourced from the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission's NRDA Grant (FWC-21369), which does not require grantor approval before advertising. Standard insurance requirements include $1,000,000 general liability and $1,000,000 business automobile coverage, with additional excess or umbrella liability of $1,000,000 required. The requesting department point of contact is Erin Graham (850-233-5070; egraham@visitpanamacitybeach.com), with the form approved by Department Director Erin Graham on April 13, 2026, and endorsed by Chief Risk Officer Eve Tooley on the same date. The solicitation number is RFP 26-23, and the form was prepared for publication by the Bay County Purchasing Department.
