HBMD Administration Building Expansion

Broward County is soliciting bids for the Highway Bridge Maintenance Division (HBMD) Administration Building Expansion and Renovation project located in Pompano Beach, Florida. The fixed-price construction contract involves expanding the existing 4,800 square foot administration building by adding a new one-story, 6,335 square foot building addition designed to accommodate approximately 58 employees through 12 offices and 46 workstations. The project requires substantial completion within 400 days after the Project Initiation Date, with final completion due 30 days after substantial completion. Vendors must possess either a State of Florida Certified General Contractor license or a Broward County Class "A" General Building Contractor license and must perform at least 10% of the total contract work without subcontracting. Key deliverables include comprehensive Building Information Modeling (BIM) documentation, electronic media submittals, and construction documentation that meets LEED Silver Certification standards. The solicitation was posted on August 1, 2025, with a mandatory site visit held on August 15, 2025, and a final bid submission deadline of September 22, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. Vendors must submit all responses electronically through the BPRO system and are required to attend a mandatory site visit to be eligible for contract consideration.

The procurement includes a 30% Broward County Business Enterprise (CBE) goal participation requirement, mandating vendors utilize certified CBE firms for a significant portion of the project work. Vendors failing to meet CBE participation commitments may face liquidated damages equal to 50% of the shortfall amount, capped at 10% of the total contract value. The county maintains an online CBE directory and requires monthly utilization reports throughout the contract term. Bonding requirements include a 5% bid bond and 100% performance and payment bonds, with specific surety company qualifications based on the contract value. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including $2,000,000 general liability coverage, $1,000,000 auto liability, and workers' compensation coverage. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the detailed specifications, building expansion scope, and comprehensive requirements suggest a significant investment in infrastructure improvement. The project will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on total bid price, with the county responsible for paying permit, license, impact, inspection, and certificate of occupancy fees.
