Flagler County, Florida is soliciting bids for Bid No. 25-011P to construct a new General Aviation Terminal Building at Flagler Executive Airport. The comprehensive project includes building the terminal facility, constructing an access road, developing a parking lot, and obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy. The scope encompasses extensive site preparation including demolition, excavation, utility coordination, landscaping, irrigation, and infrastructure development. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by November 22, 2024, at 2:00 PM local time, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting held on October 31, 2024, at 11:00 AM. The project requires prime contractors to have a minimum of five years' experience in similar aviation terminal construction projects and provide references for three comparable projects. Key deliverables include a fully functional terminal building, associated site infrastructure, and compliance with all local and state building codes. The total project duration is set at 510 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $3,813 per calendar day for delays. The county has structured the bid with two primary schedules (Schedule A and Schedule B) and an alternate configuration option for the terminal access road, providing flexibility in project implementation.
