About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Orange County, Florida is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the Downey Park Skate Area Renovation project (Y26-724), with an estimated project cost of $514,000. The procurement seeks a general contractor to demolish existing skate park equipment and construct a new contiguous concrete surface including a concrete skate flow bowl and deck at Downey Park located at 10107 Flowers Avenue, Orlando, Florida. The scope of work encompasses site preparation with trenching and grading, drainage infrastructure installation (SD inlet and 8" PVC), concrete paving, and landscaping restoration with Argentine bahia grass, to be delivered in two phases with Phase 1 (street skate area) as the base bid and Phase 2 (skate bowl) as an alternate combined bid. Respondents must submit bids electronically via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform by April 2, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on March 9, 2026 at 1:00 PM and a non-mandatory site visit at 2:00 PM at the project location. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by March 18, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST through the OpenGov question and answer module. Required qualifications include at least three similar projects completed within the last ten years, with preference for contractors who have completed a skate bowl or similar skate park project within the last three years as prime contractor, along with all applicable state and local licenses, E-Verify registration, and proof of insurance including $1,000,000 commercial general liability coverage. The County will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the contractor must achieve substantial completion within 210 calendar days and final completion within 240 calendar days from the Official Notice to Proceed.

The solicitation contains no disclosed set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organization types eligible to respond. A bid bond or alternative surety equal to at least 10% of the total estimated contract amount is required for offers exceeding $100,000, and the selected contractor must execute a written contract within ten days and provide performance and payment bonds equal to the contract amount. The project specifications reference a Limited Geotechnical Exploration report dated August 23, 2019 identifying shallow groundwater conditions at depths of 0.5 to 1.5 feet below existing grade, requiring wet pond design and potential grade raising. The contractor is responsible for all temporary facilities, erosion control measures, site security with 6-foot chain link fencing, maintenance of traffic, and final closeout documentation including record drawings, maintenance manuals, and warranties. Payment will be processed monthly based on the percentage of work completed with 10% retainage until final completion, subject to the requirements of Florida Statute 218 (Local Government Prompt Payment Act), with progress payments and final payment due within 20 business days of respective approval and completion certification. No incumbent vendor or current contractor is listed for this project, and the County is exempt from federal and state sales taxes.
