About this opportunity
Citrus County, Florida is seeking bids for ITB 25-104 Artificial Reef Deployment, a marine ecosystem restoration project funded by the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (RESTORE) through The Gulf Consortium. The project involves loading, transporting, and deploying approximately 2,000 to 3,000 tons of processed concrete construction debris to Fish Haven #1, an artificial reef site located 25 miles west of Homosassa in the Gulf of America. The deployment will occur at a depth of approximately 30 feet within a permitted area, using a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit valid through April 18, 2027. Bidders must meet specific qualifications, including active registration in Florida and SAM.gov, no appearance on federal or state debarment lists, proof of insurance, and successful completion of at least one artificial reef construction project within the past five years. Key procurement dates include a mandatory pre-bid conference held on March 13, 2025, with bid submissions due by April 29, 2025 at 2:00 PM local time, and a potential board approval of award on June 10, 2025. The bid will be evaluated on multiple factors including price, quality, design, and workmanship, with the county reserving the right to reject any or all bids.
The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types beyond the stated qualifications. The total project budget is approximately $1,200,000, with the contract duration set at 300 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Contractors will be required to provide Payment and Performance Bonds each for 100% of the total contract price and maintain specific insurance coverages including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. The project includes provisions for liquidated damages of $500 per day for delays and comprehensive warranties. The funding comes from a specific Financial Assistance Award (FAIN No. GNSSP23FL0047-01-00) through the Gulf Consortium, with the county having flexibility to adjust funding based on availability. Contractors will need to comply with federal, state, and local regulations, and the work must be completed in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit, with materials to be ordered within 10 calendar days of receiving the purchase order.
