The City of DeLand in Volusia County, Florida, is seeking a contractor for the comprehensive renovation and addition to Fire Station #83, located at 1655 East Taylor Road. The project involves a 797 square foot addition to the existing 7,627 square foot facility, with a total renovation scope spanning 24 construction divisions and requiring full operational continuity during the project. Contractors must provide comprehensive construction services including site preparation, building additions, interior renovations, and associated infrastructure improvements, with specific technical requirements covering architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. The project involves complete renovation of existing spaces and construction of new areas including bunk rooms, apparatus bay, kitchen, fitness area, and support spaces. Key procurement dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid conference held on April 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with bid submissions due on May 1, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The contract specifies a substantial completion timeline of 120 business days, with contractors required to maintain full fire station operational status during renovations. Evaluation will likely focus on technical capabilities, compliance with detailed specifications, and ability to manage complex municipal infrastructure projects. The procurement appears open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations, though local firms demonstrated significant interest during the pre-bid process. The project includes base bid line items and alternate options, such as a 5% contingency, temporary restroom provisions, and optional LED lighting upgrades. The total project budget is not explicitly stated, but the comprehensive nature of the renovation and addition suggests a substantial investment. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds, comprehensive insurance, and adhere to Florida Product Approval standards. The existing infrastructure includes a 450kW electrical service that will be modified, and a fully sprinklered Type II B construction classification. The geotechnical report indicates specific foundation requirements, including soil compaction and bearing pressure specifications, which will be critical for bidders to understand. Successful contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in municipal fire station renovations, complex systems integration, and the ability to work in an active emergency services environment.
