Government Campus Pond Fountain Replacements and Related Work

Collier County Procurement Services is seeking qualified vendors for a government campus pond fountain replacement project through a Quick Quote informal bidding process. The procurement opportunity involves comprehensive replacement of fountain systems at two specific locations: the Jail Pond and Building F Pond on the county's main government campus. Project deliverables include removing existing fountains and installing new fountain systems - specifically a 5 HP horizontal fountain at the Jail Pond and a 1 HP horizontal fountain at Building F Pond. Additionally, the project requires shoreline stabilization at the Building F Pond, which entails installing approximately 300 linear feet of heavy-duty erosion control geotextile fabric and 6"-12" riprap stone. The non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 12, 2025, at 10:00 am, with vendor questions due by December 2, 2025, and final responses to be submitted through the Collier County Procurement Services Online Bidding System by December 4, 2025. Vendors must provide a comprehensive lump sum price for each pond location and submit required documentation including a W-9, E-Verify MOU, Sunbiz record, and geotextile fabric specifications.

The contract will be awarded to the responsive vendor submitting the lowest quote and requires extensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, employer's liability, commercial general liability, and automobile liability, with Collier County named as an additional insured. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, vendors must be enrolled in the E-Verify program and comply with local, state, and federal regulations. The project is structured as a one-time purchase with firm pricing, and for projects exceeding $200,000, performance and payment bonds from a surety rated "A-" or better are required. Though no precise budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project - which includes all-inclusive, turnkey services encompassing labor, materials, equipment, permits, and incidentals - suggests a substantial investment in infrastructure improvement. Vendors must demonstrate capability to complete the fountain replacements and shoreline stabilization work in full compliance with industry standards and applicable codes, with all work to be performed on the Collier County government complex in Naples, Florida.
