Building Condition Assessments for Walton County Community Centers

Walton County, Florida (FIPS Code 12131) has issued Request for Quotation #8-26 seeking qualified firms to perform comprehensive building condition assessments for three County-owned community centers: Mossy Head Community Center, Glendale Community Center, and Portland Community Center. The procuring jurisdiction requires contractors to conduct visual, non-destructive site inspections evaluating structural elements, roof systems, exterior walls, interior components, HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems, doors, windows, and evidence of water intrusion or structural distress. Deliverables include professional written reports in PDF format for each facility containing summaries of building condition, descriptions of significant deficiencies, photographic documentation with site images, professional observations and recommendations, and rough order-of-magnitude considerations for major repairs. The primary objective is to obtain an independent professional evaluation to determine whether continued investment in repairs and renovations is practical or if replacement of the structures should be considered. Qualified contractors must hold one of the following credentials: Florida Licensed Professional Engineer, Florida Licensed Architect, Florida Licensed Home Inspector, or equivalent professional standing with demonstrated commercial or public building evaluation experience. The RFQ was released on March 6, 2026, with responses due by March 17, 2026, at 12:00 pm. Pricing proposals must be submitted as lump sum quotes for each of the three facilities, and site inspections will be coordinated with Walton County staff who may accompany the contractor during evaluations.

The procurement documents do not identify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or specific preferences limiting response eligibility. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the available documentation. Regarding insurance requirements, selected contractors must provide Commercial General Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and Workers Compensation coverage as required by Florida law. Bidders must confirm authorization to submit responses, provide lead time and quote validity periods, indicate any prior business history with Walton County, and submit two references from customers with similar project experience. New vendors to Walton County will be required to submit a W-9 form and complete an ACH authorization form upon award. The procurement documents do not disclose a specific budget range or estimated award value for this project.
