FY 23-24 ADA Improvements

The City of DeLand, Florida is soliciting competitive sealed bids for a Fiscal Year 2023-2024 ADA Improvements project (Bid No. B-25-02) focused on streetscape accessibility enhancements. The procurement involves constructing and installing ADA-compliant infrastructure across four designated areas, including W. Winnemissett Avenue, S. Thompson Street, S. Delaware Avenue, and S. Parsons Avenue. Key deliverables include removing existing concrete and curbing, constructing 620 square yards of 4-inch concrete sidewalks, installing 490 linear feet of Type F concrete curb, and placing 176 square feet of detectable warning surfaces. The project requires contractors to provide comprehensive project management, including supervision, labor, equipment, traffic maintenance, and material removal, with specific technical requirements such as maintaining 3,000 PSI concrete strength and ensuring 2% maximum cross slope for driveways. The bid is due on November 19, 2024, at 3:00 P.M., with a mandatory pre-bid meeting held on November 5, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. at the Public Works Building. Contractors must submit a 5% bid bond and comply with all project specifications detailed in the comprehensive bid package.

The procurement is subject to federal assistance requirements, including Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage rates, Copeland "Anti-Kickback" Act regulations, and Build America Buy America (BABA) Act provisions. The project includes specific provisions for minority and women-owned business participation, encouraging diversity in contractor selection. Two contractors have already submitted bids: Sanderson Concrete with a total bid of $108,783.00 and Thadcon LLC with a bid of $356,655.00. The contract requires substantial project completion within 90 calendar days, with liquidated damages of $500 per business day for delays. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $2 million in commercial general liability and $1 million in auto liability. The project is funded through the City of DeLand's Engineering Department and potentially involves Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, with a scheduled implementation in July 2024 under project number EN24-02. The total project budget appears to be flexible, with the city reserving the right to award multiple contracts or adjust the scope as deemed necessary.
