The Florida Department of Health - Design and Construction Section (DCS) is soliciting competitive sealed bids for interior renovations at the Gadsden County Health Department located at 278 Lasalle Lefall Drive in Quincy, Florida. The project (FDOH Project No. 82320100) requires a qualified general contractor to provide comprehensive construction services, including all necessary labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and permits. Bidders must be licensed to work in the jurisdiction and submit a current Florida Department of Management Services (DMS) biennial prequalification letter. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 10:00 am, with attendance required for prime bidders, and only firms listed on the pre-bid meeting attendance list will be eligible to submit bids. Sealed bids will be publicly received and opened on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 2:00 pm on-site, with bidders required to submit a 5% bid bond and subsequently provide a Performance Bond and Labor and Material Payment Bond.

The procurement opportunity includes several important compliance and eligibility requirements for potential contractors. Bidders must be compliant with E-Verify regulations for all employed persons and adhere to public entity crime restrictions and non-discrimination guidelines. Contractors cannot be placed on convicted vendor or discriminatory vendor lists, which may limit participation for some organizations. The contract award will be made through an electronic posting on the DMS Vendor Information Portal, suggesting a transparent selection process. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the interior renovation project implies a substantial investment in upgrading the Gadsden County Health Department's facilities. The mandatory pre-bid meeting and stringent qualification requirements indicate that the Florida Department of Health is seeking highly qualified and experienced contractors to execute this renovation project with precision and professionalism.
