The project requires Builder's Risk Insurance to be included in the bid price and must adhere to green building standards. Bid submissions are due no later than 3:30 pm (ET) on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, to be delivered to the Bureau of Design and Construction in Tallahassee, with bid posting scheduled for April 8, 2025.

Minority businesses are strongly encouraged to participate, and the bid includes specific provisions for accessibility, such as accommodations for individuals with disabilities and alternative communication methods. The contract includes mandatory E-Verify requirements, compelling the selected vendor to confirm employment eligibility for all persons working on the project using the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system. Bidders must also comply with ADA requirements and provide equal access to bid documentation and meetings. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving boardwalk construction, restroom facilities, and ADA infrastructure improvements—suggests a substantial investment in park facility redevelopment. The procurement process includes a formal protest mechanism, with specific guidelines for filing notices of intent to protest, ensuring transparency and providing vendors with a clear path for addressing potential concerns about the bid specifications.
