Baycare Ball Park Berm Wall Repair

The City of Clearwater, Florida, is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the Baycare Ball Park Berm Wall Repair project (26-0002-PR) through an Invitation to Bid process, with proposals due February 25, 2026. The primary objective is to provide structural stability to the existing outfield berm wall through installation of soil nail shotcrete walls spanning the entire berm height, topped with a concrete curb positioned one foot above the existing soil line, with soil nails placed at uniform spacing throughout. The scope of work includes partial berm removal, concrete repairs, formwork installation, reinforcing steel placement, curing, and finishing in accordance with ACI standards. All work must be completed within 90 consecutive calendar days commencing immediately after the completion of Phillies Spring Training 2026, with construction hours limited to Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., unless additional hours receive approval. Prospective bidders must be pre-qualified by the City of Clearwater at least two weeks prior to bid opening, attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting to address project conditions, staging, scheduling, and an updated events schedule, and conduct site examinations before submission. Bids must be accompanied by bid security equal to ten percent of the maximum bid price in the form of a certified check or proposal bond, submitted either electronically through the City's e-Procurement Portal or in sealed hard copy format at the specified location and time. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and award the contract to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder.

The procurement document does not explicitly identify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations eligible to respond. The successful bidder must execute an AIA A104 (2017) Abbreviated Form of Agreement and furnish a 100% performance and payment bond if the contract exceeds $150,000, indicating the anticipated contract value likely falls within or above this threshold. The contractor assumes responsibility for obtaining all construction permits and licenses, with the City of Clearwater waiving building permit fees, and must comply with all federal, state, and local laws including trench safety, erosion control, and OSHA standards. Progress payments will be made monthly based on AIA G702/G703 forms, less five percent retainage, within thirty days of application approval. The contractor must provide a two-year guarantee from final acceptance and submit as-built drawings in both hard copy and electronic formats prior to receiving final payment.
