Coral Shores High School Painting and Exterior Restoration Project

Monroe County School District is requesting bids for exterior painting and restoration of all buildings at Coral Shores High School under ITB 2026-018, with sealed proposals due electronically October 13, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on September 22, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at the school site in Tavernier, Florida. Work must be completed by August 1, 2027 and will be performed at an active school site, requiring scheduling primarily after 3:00 p.m. on school days to minimize disruption.

The scope encompasses preparation, priming, painting, and sealant replacement on all exterior wall surfaces for designated buildings, including all labor, materials, equipment, and subcontracts. The contractor and coating-material manufacturer must perform tests to verify new paint and coating systems adhere properly and meet project warranty requirements. All work must comply with Florida Building Code, State Requirements for Educational Facilities, ADA standards, EPA regulations, NFPA standards, and detailed specifications in Coral Shores High School Exterior Wall Paint Specifications and Scope of Work, Edition 23-004. A minimum five-year warranty on all labor and materials is required.

The contract is awarded to the lowest qualified bidder using lump-sum pricing. Bids exceeding $200,000 must include a line item for performance and payment bond costs, with a 100% performance and payment bond required for bids above $200,000. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in similar exterior painting and restoration projects and provide proof of Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000/$2,000,000), Workers' Compensation, and Automotive Liability ($1,000,000 Combined Single Limit) insurance. Liquidated damages of $200 per day apply for work not completed by the August 1, 2027 deadline. The District reserves the right to award up to 10% additional contingency pricing for unforeseen conditions. Questions are due October 5, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., with responses provided by October 6, 2026. School Board approval is scheduled for November 10, 2026.
