Jackson-Lane Memorial Park Pavilion

The City of DeLand is seeking sealed bids for the Jackson-Lane Memorial Park Pavilion construction project located at 720 N. Frankfort Avenue in DeLand, Florida. The procurement involves constructing a new wood-frame pavilion with concrete masonry unit restrooms, totaling 327 gross square feet, which includes separate men's and women's restroom facilities and a vestibule. The project requires comprehensive site preparation, including removal of two existing trees, installation of water and sanitary sewer lines, a 4-inch concrete sidewalk, performance turf, and complete landscaping. Sealed bids are due by 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 29, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at the Utilities Administration Building. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond, evidence of state contractor licensure, and qualification statements demonstrating financial stability, safety performance, and relevant construction experience. The contract duration is 90 business days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for failure to achieve substantial completion within the contracted timeframe.

This federally assisted Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project is subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($5,000,000 combined single limit), pollution liability ($1,000,000), and builder's risk insurance. The project does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it is subject to Section 3 economic opportunity requirements. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price and will be responsible for quality control testing, temporary traffic control, site cleanup, maintenance of existing utilities, and one year of manual irrigation for replacement materials. While no specific award value is listed, the project includes a 5% contingency allowance and is exempt from Florida sales and use taxes. The architectural and engineering plans, prepared by JL2 Architecture with consultations from TLC Engineering Solutions and BBM Structural, indicate a Type III B non-sprinklered construction with a maximum allowable height of 55 feet, designed to current building code specifications.
