Building #1 Upstairs Restroom Renovations

The St. Johns River Water Management District is seeking bids for a comprehensive renovation of two multi-user restroom facilities located on the second floor of Building #1 at their District Headquarters in Palatka, Florida. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicits qualified general contractors to perform a full renovation of these facilities, originally constructed in 1989 and now showing significant deterioration. The project scope includes demolition and replacement of floor and wall tiles, toilets, urinals, partitions, sinks, mirrors, and other fixtures across two bathrooms: one with two toilet stalls, two sinks, and two urinals, and another with three toilet stalls and two sinks. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 7, 2025, at 11:00 AM at the District Headquarters, and bidder participation is required to be eligible to submit a response. Bids are due by 2:00 PM on May 21, 2025, with project completion required by September 30, 2025. Bidders must demonstrate experience by having completed three similar renovation projects within the past three years and possess a current Florida General Contractor's license.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to submit comprehensive documentation, including a bid form, cost schedule, proof of business registration, and references. The district will provide some materials like paper towel and soap dispensers, while the contractor is responsible for supplying all other materials, labor, and equipment. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, and pollution liability coverage with specific minimum limits. The estimated budget for the project is $90,000, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the minimum qualifications. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may terminate the contract for convenience with 30 days' notice. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project represents a significant renovation opportunity for qualified contractors specializing in commercial restroom renovations.
