22-BG-10 RIVERSIDE PARK BULKHEAD REPLACEMENT

The City of Holly Hill, Florida, through Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 22-BG-10, is seeking a qualified general contractor to complete a comprehensive bulkhead replacement project at Riverside Park, located at 231 Riverside Drive. The project involves replacing approximately 200 linear feet of existing bulkhead along the Halifax River, which will include installing UC-95 composite sheet piles, a reinforced concrete cap, and a helical anchor system. Contractors must possess a valid General Contractor's license and submit a mandatory bid bond with their proposal. The bid requires one original and one electronic copy of submission materials, with sealed bids due by 10:00 am on December 17, 2024. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on December 3, 2024, at 10:00 am in the City Hall Commission Chambers, and all bidder questions were required to be submitted in writing by December 11, 2024. The project timeline is set at 180 days, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day for delays, and the work will include multiple line items such as mobilization, environmental protection, demolition, concrete work, sheet piling, helical anchoring, and site restoration.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and the project is partially funded by a Florida Inland Navigation District grant. The project will require compliance with multiple environmental permits, including a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit and Florida Department of Environmental Protection verifications, which mandate specific environmental protections for marine habitats. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the project requires careful integration with existing site infrastructure, including preserving the current pier and reinstalling existing pavers. The bid documents indicate a contingency of 10% built into the bid schedule, suggesting potential flexibility in project scope and budget. Though no explicit budget range is provided, the comprehensive technical specifications, geotechnical reports, and detailed drawings indicate a significant municipal infrastructure investment. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in marine construction, environmental compliance, and precise engineering capabilities to successfully execute this complex waterfront rehabilitation project.
