Palm Beach County's Engineering and Public Works Department is soliciting sealed unit-price bids for landscaping on the CR-880 and Sam Senter Road over SFWMD Ocean Canal project (Project No. 2019803), with the listing showing bids due November 3, 2026. The solicitation establishes a 5% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) subcontracting participation goal. Bidders unable to meet the goal must submit waiver requests with good faith effort documentation by the bid due date.

The scope requires all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals to prepare the site to final grade and install landscape trees, plants, sod, and irrigation systems per the plans and specifications. The scope includes a required guarantee, replacements, cleanup, maintenance services, and maintenance of traffic, all included in the unit bid price for each tree. The attached specification book describes the broader project as including bridge replacement and intersection improvements. Contractors must comply with FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction FY 2024-25 and E-Verify requirements, and must maintain insurance naming Palm Beach County as additional insured. Contractors and all subcontractors must register in the county's Vendor Self Service system before award. A bid bond is required for bids of $200,000 or more, and a bond waiver program is available for qualifying bidders on contracts under $200,000. Subcontractors must be paid within 10 days of the county's payment to the contractor, per the Florida Prompt Payment Act. Qualifying contractors may receive apprentice incentive reimbursement of up to $100,000 and Glades resident hiring incentive reimbursement of up to $100,000.

The attached specification book lists a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 13, 2026 and a sealed-bid opening on September 1, 2026. Both dates precede the October 30, 2026 posting and conflict with the November 3, 2026 listed due date. Contract documents are available for download at pbcvssp.pbc.gov, and hard copies cost $40 (non-refundable). Contract time is stated in the Proposal Form, with an additional 120 calendar days allowed for pavement cure and final pavement markings when applicable.
