Chiefland greenhouse roof panel replacement project # 1093

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is seeking competitive bids for the removal of existing Lexan roof panels and installation of new Lexan roof panels on four greenhouses located at the Chiefland Florida Budwood facility. The scope of work includes removing old roof panels, installing new 8mm thick Lexan panels of specified dimensions, replacing glazing bars and gaskets, and completing associated tasks. Vendors must field verify panel sizes and quantities, follow OSHA safety guidelines, decontaminate daily, and coordinate the work to minimize disruptions. The project is subject to applicable building codes and standards. The contract period is 120 calendar days, with 90 days for substantial completion and 30 days for project close-out. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on July 12, 2023, and bids are due by July 25, 2023, with a public bid opening on July 27, 2023 and an anticipated award date of August 8, 2023.

The project will be funded through a federal grant, and therefore Davis Bacon Wage reporting and wage rates will apply. No bid bond/guarantee is required, but a performance bond is. The Department plans to award as many greenhouses as the budget will fund. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest total price. Pricing details, set-asides, incumbents, and the exact contract amount are not provided in the documentation.
