The City of South Daytona is seeking quotes for RFQ #25-RFQ-007, a sod installation project at Blaine O'Neal Park, located in Volusia County, Florida. The procurement involves removing existing turf, preparing the site, and installing approximately 23,387.50 square feet of high-quality, sports-grade Bermuda sod. Contractors are required to provide comprehensive services including soil testing, site leveling, sod installation with tight seams, and a 90-day post-installation maintenance plan covering watering, fertilization, and pest inspections. The project requires contractors to handle all necessary permits, labor, materials, equipment, and supervision, with a substantial completion timeline of 120 calendar days and a total project completion deadline of 150 calendar days. Quotes will be evaluated based on the contractor's experience, proposed timeline, material quality, and overall value, with submissions due electronically through the City's e-Procurement Portal by February 17, 2025, at 2:00 pm. Contractors must comply with local, state, and federal regulations, including OSHA safety protocols and environmental considerations.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverages, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Commercial Automobile Liability, with specified minimum coverage amounts. The agreement includes E-Verify compliance requirements and mandates adherence to Florida's scrutinized companies provisions, which prohibit business operations with certain restricted jurisdictions. While no specific budget range is detailed, the contract will compensate the selected contractor based on rates specified in the agreement for work actually performed. The City reserves the right to reject any or all quotes and award the contract to the most advantageous proposal. Liquidated damages of $500 per day will be assessed for each day a contractor exceeds specified project milestones. The contract is structured as a non-exclusive agreement, allowing the City to independently bid similar services in the future.
