The estimated construction cost is $768,246 for the Avenues project (220016) and $529,454 for the Streets project (220017). Bids exceeding $100,000 require a 5% good faith deposit via bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check. Performance bonds and labor and material payment bonds are required and must be registered with the county. The contractor must obtain all necessary building permits and pay associated fees, except those handled by the State Fire Marshal. Contractor insurance must be provided within ten days of contract award and approved before work commences.

Sealed bids will be publicly opened and read aloud on September 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM at the Robert F. Ensslin National Guard Armory in St. Augustine, Florida. Contract award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Written questions are due August 19, 2026 at 10:00 AM. A final addendum is tentatively scheduled for August 27, 2026.
