Judicial Garage Re-Beautification Project

Escambia County, Florida is seeking bids for the Judicial Garage Re-Beautification Project, an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for comprehensive restoration services at the Judicial Parking Garage located at 190 W. Government Street in Pensacola. The project requires pressure washing, sealing, and repainting of the facility, which was originally constructed in 2001. Contractors must use Sherwin-Williams Loxon Concrete and Masonry Primer and Loxon XP Masonry Coating, or an approved equivalent, and must apply paint using a roller method rather than spraying. The project has a strict timeline of 60 consecutive calendar days, with 30 days allocated for substantial completion and an additional 30 days for final completion. Key deadlines include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on September 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM, a question submission deadline of September 8, 2025, at 1:00 PM, and bid submissions due electronically by September 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, responsibility, and lowest bid pricing, with liquidated damages of $904.00 per calendar day for delays beyond the specified completion time.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation including E-Verify certification, proof of business authority, and a proposed list of subcontractors. Contractors are required to obtain performance and payment bonds covering 100% of the contract value and maintain extensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 annual aggregate), and business auto liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence). While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the bid includes an owner's contingency of 10% and requires a lump-sum pricing approach with line items for pressure washing and repainting. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with federal, state, and local laws, including OSHA requirements, and maintain proper licensing and certifications. The county reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and may reject any or all bids.
