The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida, in Seminole County, is soliciting sealed bids through Invitation to Bid (ITB-26-055-KY) for the removal and installation of Haddonstone ornamental limestone elements at Cranes Roost Park. The procurement seeks a Florida-licensed General Contractor to repair and install fifteen railing sections along the lakefront walkway and Cranes Roost Boulevard, along with twenty decorative benches (eight in the plaza area and twelve on the overlook near the tower), with all work completed in accordance with applicable codes, manufacturer recommendations, and existing site conditions. Required qualifications include a current active Florida General Contractor license, five years of business documentation, a minimum of three client references with similar scope and specifications, proof of required insurance coverage (Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Commercial Auto Liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Excess Liability of $2,000,000), E-Verify registration with a Memorandum of Understanding, and current Business Tax Receipt and SunBiz registration. A mandatory site visit must be completed between February 23-25, 2026, with the question submission deadline of February 27, 2026, and sealed bids due by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, March 16, 2026. The project schedule is divided into two phases: bench demolition and installation from May 11-20, 2026 (with no work on May 16 or May 21), and railing system demolition and installation from May 22 through June 26, 2026, with anticipated completion within 4-6 weeks weather permitting. The contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder whose proposal represents the best value to the City, with evaluation criteria focused on technical competence and cost-effectiveness.

The procurement does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to particular business categories or disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. Bidders must submit a lump sum base bid with a bid bond equal to five percent of the total bid amount, and upon award, will be required to provide a performance and payment bond equal to one hundred percent of the contract amount, along with a maintenance bond of ten percent of the contract amount upon project completion prior to final payment. Payment terms are established at net 30 days upon delivery and acceptance, with the City retaining ten percent of invoiced amounts during construction pending final completion and inspection. The specific budget range or award value is not disclosed in the solicitation; however, the scope and phased timeline suggest a moderately-sized project involving specialized ornamental stonework, material procurement, and skilled installation services. All submittals must include detailed business documentation, insurance certificates, subcontractor and supplier lists, and notarized conflict of interest and non-collusion certifications, with failure to complete all required forms resulting in the bid being deemed non-responsive.
