A standby emergency power generator replacement is included as an additive alternate bid item.

All contractor personnel working unescorted at the airport property must pass a fingerprint-based criminal history record check conducted by Palm Beach County's Electronic Services and Security Division; the county covers FDLE and FBI fees while contractors bear all other compliance costs. Disqualifying criminal offenses are enumerated in the specification. Security ID badges with one-year expiration dates are required for all unescorted access.

This is a unit price contract with 129 line items spanning demolition, site preparation, utility installation and removal, landscaping, electrical work, stormwater management, concrete and paving, fencing and gates, and water and sanitary sewer systems. Bidders must submit unit prices and lump sum amounts for each line item to determine the total bid amount. All bidders must be licensed in accordance with Florida law at the time of bid submission.

No Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal has been established under the USDOT Interim Final Rule effective October 3, 2025, though Palm Beach County encourages participation by all qualified firms, including Small Business Concerns.
