GEE creek erosion control project – phase I (sheet piling)

The City of Casselberry, located in Seminole County, Florida, is soliciting bids for the Gee Creek Erosion Control Project - Phase I (Sheet Piling) through Invitation to Bid (ITB-2017-0177). The project involves installing approximately 170 linear feet of PZ35 steel sheet piling along North Winter Park Drive to address surface erosion between the road and creek. Key deliverables include material procurement, sheet pile installation, miscellaneous concrete work, site restoration, and maintenance of traffic following Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) standard specifications. The contractor is required to perform at least 55% of the work using their own forces, with substantial completion mandated within 60 days and final completion within 90 days of the Notice to Proceed. The bid response was due on May 23, 2017, at 2:00 P.M. local time, with a mandatory pre-bid conference held on May 11, 2017, at the project site. Evaluation will focus on the most responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest overall bid meeting project specifications.

The project is partially funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under Agreement No. 68-4209-17-202, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. Bidders are encouraged to comply with federal procurement standards and give preference to small and minority businesses. The contractor must provide a 5% bid security bond and performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the contract price. The engineer's estimated project value is $500,540.00, with ten primary pay items including mobilization, maintenance of traffic, sand fence, turbidity barrier, structure monitoring, sheet piling installation, concrete cap and slab, and sodding. Geotechnical investigation revealed the need for a cantilevered sheet pile wall with specific installation requirements, including corrosion protection and environmental considerations such as installing floating turbidity barriers and preparing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
