Work_Assignment_Form-UPC_Construction_Sample.pdf

This is a Work Assignment Form template for Sarasota County construction contracts under a Unit Price Contract (UPC) mechanism for Transit Shelter and Shelter Pad Installation. The form serves as authorization documentation issued by Sarasota County to contractors selected under the primary solicitation, which seeks qualified general contractors to provide materials and labor for constructing concrete pads and installing prefabricated bus shelters at multiple transit stops throughout Sarasota County and the Siesta Key CDP. The solicitation was issued as an Invitation for Bids with bids due by March 10, 2026, submitted through the OpenGov Procurement portal. The contract is awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and is structured as an initial three-year term. Individual work assignments are authorized through this form, which specifies the scope of work, timeline from Notice to Proceed to Final Acceptance, compensation amount, liquidated damages provisions for delays, and signature authority from the contractor, project manager, construction manager, and Sarasota County director.

Pricing under the contract operates exclusively on a unit price basis for actual quantities of work performed or materials furnished, with payment terms and specific prices established in individual work assignment authorizations. The contract incorporates Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements with applicable rates ranging from $15.54 to $33.61 per hour depending on worker classification, plus fringe benefits. Performance and payment bonds are required for work assignments exceeding $200,000, and contractors must demonstrate bonding capacity of at least $1,000,000 through a Letter of Bondability. Comprehensive insurance requirements include Workers' Compensation with $500,000 employers liability limits, Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate with Sarasota County named as additional insured, Business Automobile Liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Umbrella/Excess Liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate. The contract is subject to federal funding requirements including Federal Transit Administration mandates, civil rights compliance, and Americans with Disabilities Act standards. No local or American business preference set-asides apply due to federal grant funding; however, a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation goal of one percent overall has been established.
