Lake Silver Western Shoreline Stabilization Project

The City of Winter Haven, Florida is seeking qualified contractors to bid on the Lake Silver Western Shoreline Stabilization Project. The project involves stabilizing the eroding western shoreline of Lake Silver, which has been modified over time due to the development of a nearby railroad. The shoreline stabilization work will protect adjacent community amenities, such as a pedestrian trail and skate park, as well as the lake's littoral zone habitat. The scope of work includes site clearing, erosion and sediment control, installation of armor stone, filter stone, and geotextile fabric, and site restoration. Bidders must provide unit costs for each line item, and the final installation must be fully functional. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) states that the City is not responsible for mathematical errors, and the quantities and unit costs are estimated, with the bidder responsible for making an independent assessment. Bids are due by 2:00 PM on August 6, 2024, with a public bid opening immediately following. The contract will have a 120-calendar day completion timeline, with an additional 30 days allowed for punch list items.

The ITB does not mention any set-asides, incumbent contractors, or specific funding requirements or sources. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Bidders are required to provide a list of three similar projects as part of their submission. The contract will utilize a City-issued Mastercard as the payment method, and the pricing terms indicate that the unit prices provided by the bidders will be used as a basis for pay requests and adjustments to the work, if the Owner decides to expand or reduce the proposed work within 20 percent of what is shown.
