5th District Court of Appeal Parking Garage Corrosion Remediation and Repairs

The Office of the State Courts Administrator (OSCA) is seeking a licensed general contractor to perform comprehensive corrosion remediation and repairs to the second floor of the parking garage at the 5th District Court of Appeal located at 300 South Beach Street in Daytona Beach, Florida. The procurement is structured as an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) with a mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visits scheduled for January 30-31, 2025, where vendors must obtain prior authorization to conduct assessments including X-Ray Computed Tomography scanning of cement columns. Key deliverables include installing pipe shoring, evaluating and replacing anchor bolts, removing active corrosion, applying rust converter, installing new anchor rods and steel plates, and applying primer and commercial grade paint to metal surfaces. Contractors must hold either a certified general contractor/building contractor license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation or a registered general contractor/builder license from Volusia County. The evaluation process will be two-phased, with technical and cost proposals each worth up to 100 points, and top-ranked vendors invited to negotiate. Proposal submissions are due March 5, 2025, with an anticipated contract start date of April 21, 2025, and the initial contract term is one year with up to three one-year renewal options.

The procurement includes several mandatory compliance requirements for potential vendors, including completion of E-Verify registration affidavits, contractor statutory compliance certifications, and a non-disclosure agreement. Contractors must demonstrate at least five years of construction and corrosion remediation experience and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $2 million in commercial general liability, $2 million in professional liability, $2 million in builder's risk, and a performance bond equal to the total contract amount. The project is funded through state appropriations under chapter 2024-231, Laws of Florida, section 7, line 3302, with a budget allocated specifically for this corrosion remediation project. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the procurement emphasizes strict security protocols, including mandatory government-issued photo identification for site visits and prohibition of direct contact with court staff. Contractors must also certify they are not owned by or associated with foreign countries of concern and do not engage in forced labor or human trafficking practices. The project requires a one-year workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties for materials, with potential change orders to address hidden damage discovered during the repair process.
