This specification drawings document is an attachment to Sarasota County's Invitation for Bids (IFB #252781RM) for retaining wall maintenance services at the Laurel Oak Country Club property in Florida. The project involves preventative and corrective maintenance of retaining wall structures at two reclaimed water ponds, including quarterly site visits, perimeter inspections, minor excavation, winching of toppled posts and panels, installing new tieback systems, and backfilling. Bidders must be licensed as either a Certified Specialty Contractor (Division II Marine Contractor) or a Certified General Contractor with at least two verifiable references for pond retaining wall maintenance within the past seven years. The County requires a one-business-day response to maintenance requests, a five-business-day site visit requirement, and a seven-business-day deadline for submitting written quotes. Bid responses are due by January 9, 2026, and the initial contract term is anticipated to be three years with a possible contingency of up to 10% for unforeseen circumstances subject to written County approval.

Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate limits, and Business Automobile Liability with $1,000,000 combined single limit. Pricing must include all labor, trip charges, mileage, vehicle charges, and travel time, with markup on materials and equipment limited to the percentage specified in the Fee Schedule. All work and materials will be fully warranted for one year from the date of County acceptance or the standard manufacturer warranty period, whichever is longer. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest total bid price. No local or American business preferences will apply to this award due to grant funding requirements, and no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are specified.
