Sealed bids must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov Procurement portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/flaglercounty by 2:00 pm on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 10:00 am at the Flagler County Engineering Department Conference Room located at 1769 East Moody Boulevard, Building 2, Bunnell, Florida 32110.

All bids must be accompanied by a certified check, bank draft, or bid bond equal to five percent (5%) of the total bid price, and the successful bidder will be required to furnish Performance and Payment Bonds and a one-year Warranty Bond equal to 100 percent of the contract value, along with proof of comprehensive insurance coverage with minimum limits ranging from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 depending on coverage type.

This procurement is restricted to contractors meeting specific prequalification and licensing requirements established by the Florida Department of Transportation. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned, women-owned business enterprises are explicitly identified in the solicitation documents, though prevailing wage requirements under federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding apply to this project. The project is funded through State of Florida Department of Transportation grant funding combined with local County funds, with no cost escalation or adjustment claims permitted for price or rate increases. Liquidated damages apply at a daily rate of $904 per calendar day for contracts under $300,000. The project has obtained necessary environmental permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Nationwide Permit 14 for Linear Transportation Projects, valid until March 14, 2026) and an environmental resource permit exemption determination from the St. Johns River Water Management District (GEN-035-145469-2, issued August 21, 2025). Payment will be made in accordance with the Florida Prompt Payment Act for local governments, with five percent (5%) retainage withheld from progress payments until final completion. While the specific contract award value is not disclosed in the solicitation, the project scope and 1.9-mile roadway improvement scale suggest a substantial public works contract in the multi-million-dollar range typical for FDOT-funded roadway projects in Florida.
