About this opportunity
The City of Ocala Recreation & Parks Department is seeking qualified archaeological firms through RFQ #REC/250728 to provide comprehensive archaeological services at the Fort King National Historic Landmark. The procurement focuses on professional archaeological monitoring, non-invasive ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys, and interpretive programming. Specific deliverables include on-site archaeological monitoring during ground-disturbing activities, identifying and documenting archaeological resources, creating instructional materials, and supporting interpretive programming. The successful contractor must be a licensed Florida archaeologist with a minimum of 15 years' experience, specifically in Second Seminole War-era Florida archaeology, and must perform at least 30% of work using their own personnel. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 22, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST at the Fort King National Historic Landmark, with proposal submissions due by July 31, 2025. The initial contract term is two years, with two optional one-year renewal terms, and awards will be made to the lowest bidder meeting all outlined requirements.
The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements are substantial, including $1,000,000 per occurrence commercial general liability, $1,000,000 commercial automotive liability, and workers' compensation coverage. Price increases are limited to 3% annually and must be justified using the Consumer Price Index. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documents, the procurement includes pricing for four primary service categories: archaeological monitoring services, reporting and documentation, staff and volunteer training sessions, and monthly archaeological deliverables. Invoicing will occur monthly, with original invoices submitted to the project manager, and a one-year warranty is required for all services performed. The contractor must obtain prior approval for any subcontractors and must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in archaeological survey, monitoring, and interpretive programming specific to the Fort King National Historic Landmark site.
