Lights and Holiday Decorations Installation and Removal Services for the Immokalee CRA at Zocalo Plaza

Collier County's Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive holiday lights and decorations installation and removal services for Zocalo Plaza in Immokalee, Florida. The procurement involves supplying and installing premium commercial quality LED cool white light strands around trees and positioning CRA-owned decorations at 107 N 1st Street. The selected vendor will be responsible for retrieving approximately 100 existing decorations from a storage container, installing them by the third Saturday of November 2025, and maintaining the display nightly from the Friday after Thanksgiving through January 6, 2026. Vendors must submit a lump sum quote by April 15, 2025, with the county selecting the lowest responsive bidder. Key requirements include providing proof of E-Verify registration and a Certificate of Insurance prior to purchase order issuance. The vendor must meet specific insurance requirements, including Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Automobile Liability with defined coverage limits. Payment will be structured in two installments: 50% after installation completion and 50% after decoration removal and storage.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions for specific enterprise types. The contract appears to be open to standard commercial vendors capable of meeting the specified technical and insurance requirements. An existing inventory of 80 holiday-themed decorative items owned by the CRA will be available for the vendor's use, ranging from small 15-inch to large 8-foot displays, with conditions varying from poor to excellent. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the documentation includes detailed preparation materials such as site renderings, area maps, and previous decoration photographs to guide potential bidders. The contract is structured as a one-time purchase with no specified maximum award value, though the comprehensive insurance and installation requirements suggest a professional-level service expectation. Vendors should note the project involves careful handling of existing decorations, strategic installation at Zocalo Plaza, and precise timing for display and removal throughout the 2025-2026 holiday season.
