About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Sarasota County is seeking a contractor to replace the floating launch at Blackburn Point Park through an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for a construction contract. The project involves installing a new 75'x10' floating dock system, an 8'x20' gangway, and a 12'x8' timber pier in Little Sarasota Bay, located at 800 Blackburn Point Road in Osprey, Florida. Contractors must demonstrate experience with timber piers, reinforced concrete, and floating dock installations, with at least one project reference having a minimum construction cost of $100,000 within the past 7 years. The project has a substantial completion timeline of 180 calendar days, with liquidated damages of $400 per day for delays in substantial completion and $100 per day for delays in final acceptance. Bids are to be submitted through OpenGov Procurement, with the due date set for March 20, 2024. The county will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the project is funded by a grant from the West Coast Inland Navigation District (WCIND).

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though local and American businesses are typically given preference. Bidders must provide a Letter of Bondability from a surety company with a minimum bonding capacity of $1,000,000 and submit comprehensive insurance documentation, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability (with $1,000,000 per occurrence limit), business automobile liability, and marine liability. Contractors may be required to submit a bid bond of 5% of the total bid amount and complete a Vendor Questionnaire. The project requires use of an Accudock Low Profile Rowing Dock system, with specific technical requirements for materials including high-density polyethylene (HDPE) construction and marine-grade aluminum framing. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves significant infrastructure replacement and requires technical expertise in marine construction, suggesting a substantial investment. The county encourages local hiring, with an aspirational goal of hiring 15% local residents for new construction-related positions through Career Source Suncoast.
