CONTINUING CONSTRUCTION SERVICES UNDER $750k

The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida is issuing Request for Proposal RFP-26-050-FH for continuing construction services under $750,000 per individual project. This is an indefinite-quantity, as-needed contract covering a broad range of construction services including carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, masonry, roofing, small building construction, water-damage restoration, room reconfigurations, emergency repairs, door and frame replacements, sidewalk repairs, and drainage repairs. The resulting contract will have an initial two-year term with options for three additional one-year extensions, not to exceed five years total, with either party able to terminate with 45 days' written notice (contractor restricted from exercising termination during the first 90 days). Minimum qualifications require a Florida General Contractor or Certified Building Contractor license with five years of commercial experience and five years of local government experience, a current Business Tax Receipt, E-Verify registration, and comprehensive insurance coverage including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), Commercial Auto Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), Contractor's Pollution Liability ($1,000,000), Builder's Risk (100% project value), and Excess Liability ($2,000,000). Proposals will be evaluated on a 100-point scoring system based on firm experience and qualifications (25 points), business history (10 points), project team qualifications (20 points), similar projects experience (10 points), quality control and litigation history (5 points), workload capacity (5 points), approach to engagement (10 points), existing relationships (5 points), additional data (5 points), and local knowledge and proximity (5 points). Critical dates include the non-mandatory but mandatory-to-attend pre-proposal conference on February 19, 2026 at 10:00 AM at Westmonte Recreation Center (624 Bills Lane, Altamonte Springs, Florida 32714), the question submission deadline of March 2, 2026 at 4:30 PM, and the proposal due date of March 12, 2026 at 11:00 AM to City Hall, Suite 1030, 225 Newburyport Avenue, Altamonte Springs, Florida 32701-3697. Compensation will be determined through lump-sum pricing with progress payments available on a Net 30 basis, with materials reimbursed at actual pre-tax invoice cost plus an approved markup not exceeding 15%, and the City paying only standard initial permit and first inspection fees. A performance and payment bond equal to 100 percent of the contract amount and a 10 percent maintenance bond upon completion are required.

The RFP contains no specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to disadvantaged enterprises or particular business classifications; however, respondents must certify compliance with non-collusion, non-debarment, non-coercion, and foreign country of concern attestations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The City anticipates tasking individual projects from a 2026 Master Project Schedule that includes sixteen identified projects such as portable building renovation, parking lot resealing, dugout renovations, basketball court resurfacing, pavilion refurbishment, and various facility improvements across municipal locations, though additional emergency work and maintenance tasks outside the budgeted capital projects may also be assigned. While the RFP does not specify overall contract values, the City's FY 2026 Annual Budget reflects a total municipal budget of $124 million with a $143 million Five-Year Capital Improvements Plan (FY 2026-2030) focused on water and sewer infrastructure ($53.3 million), roadway improvements ($36.3 million), facility upgrades ($11.5 million), and park renovations ($7 million), providing context for potential project funding. The City maintains a debt-free status and has demonstrated strong financial management, and compensation for individual task authorizations will be determined on a case-by-case basis within the $750,000 per-project threshold. Task authorization responses are expected within five business days, though additional time may be granted on a case-by-case basis depending on project complexity, site conditions, or pending clarifications.
