Annual Civil Works Construction 2022-2025

The St. Johns River Water Management District (the District) is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for an Annual Civil Works Construction Contract for the years 2022-2025. The objective of this contract is to provide water quality improvements, enhancement and restoration of wetland habitat and natural systems, flood protection, and flood damage repairs and associated site work improvements. The District intends to award contracts to two contractors under this IFB. Over the last three years, the District issued 57 work orders valued at an estimated $3.5 million, ranging from $5,000 to $300,000 per work order. Under the new contract(s), the District does not expect to issue work orders exceeding $300,000. The term of the contract is three years, with an estimated budget of $4 million, including emergency management funds contingent upon storm damage. The estimated budget for the first year is $1.4 million, though the actual amount may vary depending on District needs. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 15, 2022.

The contract will compensate the selected contractors on a time and materials (Type 1) or fixed-price (Type 2) basis, with detailed invoicing requirements. Funding is contingent upon availability and budgetary appropriation by the District's Governing Board each fiscal year. The District reserves the right to directly purchase and provide equipment or materials to the contractors. The contract includes provisions for liquidated damages, ownership of deliverables, and insurance requirements. The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or current contractors.
