Hall Circle Vault Box Project

The City of Leesburg, located in Lake County, Florida, is seeking a qualified Florida-licensed Certified General Contractor to execute the Hall Circle Vault Box Project (IFB No. 2502401). The procurement is a public infrastructure improvement initiative focused on installing a new sewer collection vault box, constructing two new manholes, and completing associated piping installation. The project requires comprehensive contractor services, including providing all necessary labor, equipment, tools, materials, and incidentals for the municipal infrastructure upgrade. Bid submissions are due on August 21, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with a public bid opening to follow via Zoom, and the contract duration is set at 180 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Evaluation criteria will include price, compliance with specifications, bidder's performance history, financial capability, and other specified factors. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond and provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the total bid amount, along with comprehensive documentation including subcontractor lists, references, equipment details, and various certifications.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the documentation. The project does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors are listed, and the project appears to be a new infrastructure installation rather than a replacement or upgrade of existing systems. The total project budget is not explicitly stated, but the Itemized Price Schedule includes 12 line items with a 25% contingency built into the bid total. Insurance requirements are substantial, mandating $1,000,000 in general liability and automobile liability coverage, workers' compensation, and other standard protections for the City. The contract includes a two-year maintenance period post-completion, during which the contractor will be responsible for addressing any defects. The pricing structure allows for potential 5% annual price adjustments during renewal terms if industry increases can be documented, with an initial contract term through September 30, 2023, and options for up to three additional years of renewal.
