About this opportunity
The City of Tallahassee is seeking a contractor for the Martin Luther King Jr Drainage Improvements Project (IFB No. 012-26-RM) in Leon County, Florida. The project addresses chronic localized flooding at the intersections of Barbourville and Young Streets with MLK Jr Boulevard by reconstructing the northbound lane and installing new stormwater infrastructure. Specific work includes reducing lane width to improve gutter hydraulics, constructing new stormwater curb inlets, installing an 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe outfall connecting to the existing city stormwater system, and preserving an existing 63-inch Live Oak tree. The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST via Microsoft Teams, with attendance required for all prime bidders. Questions must be submitted by December 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM, with answers provided by December 29, 2025. Sealed bids are due January 6, 2026, at 2:30 PM EST, with the public virtual bid opening occurring the same day. Bidders must be prequalified by the City of Tallahassee in the Roads and Streets and Underground Utilities and Excavation categories.
The procurement includes specific set-aside and preference provisions for Minority and Women Business Enterprises (MWBE), with goals of 14 percent for Minority Business Enterprises and 9 percent for Women Business Enterprises. Local vendor preference of 5 points applies to vendors maintaining a permanent place of business with full-time employees in Leon, Wakulla, Gadsden, or Jefferson County for at least six months prior to the bid due date. Bidders must provide a bid bond equal to 5 percent of the base bid and submit a performance bond equal to 100 percent of the contract price. The engineer's opinion of probable cost for construction is approximately $1,200,000, with a contract term of 150 calendar days from receipt of Notice to Proceed. Liquidated damages are set at $1,685 per calendar day for work continuing beyond the contract period. The project does not utilize federal funding, and award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with anticipated Commission approval in January-February 2026.
Opportunity text
The Contractor will provide labor, materials, equipment, supplies, services, skills, supervision and necessary tools and equipment, and other incidentals throughout the Contract period, required for the successful construction of the MLK Jr Blvd Drainage Improvements Project. The intersections of Barbourville and Young with MLK Jr. Blvd. retain stormwater for extended periods of time resulting in localized flooding within each intersection as well as the northbound lane of MLK Jr between these two intersections. Currently there is no existing stormwater infrastructure directly serving the MLK-Young and MLK-Barbourville intersections or the segment of MLK Jr. roadway in between. The existing roadway consists of an urban typical section with curb and gutter however there are no inlets or pipes to adequately collect, capture and convey stormwater runoff. The longitudinal slope of the segment of MLK is mostly flat furthering the localized flooding and roadway spread deficiencies of the area. The project will provide roadway and intersection flooding mitigation through improved roadway and gutter hydraulics by reducing the existing lane width between the intersections and establishing a constant positive longitudinal gutter grade. This project will also include construction of new stormwater curb inlets and an associated 18" RCP outfall that will begin at the Barbourville intersection run under MLK and connect to the existing City stormwater system located at the Rudy Hubbard and MLK Blvd. intersection. Reducing the lane width between the two intersections will allow the new gutter line to circumvent the existing 63-inch Live Oak and also contain the roadway north bound lane and associated curbing gutter within the existing right of way. The project will include the reconstruction of the MLK Jr. north bound lane and curb and gutter through and between the Barbourville and Young Street intersections. It will also include the construction of stormwater curb inlets & manholes, stormwater conveyance pipes, 8" & 6" water main relocation, roadway milling and resurfacing, driveway reconstruction, SWPP, tree protection and other pay items included in the Contract Documents. The project also includes other items incidental to construction, such as: disposal of materials removed; maintenance of traffic, and restoration of disturbed areas. The Contractor shall have the capability to perform and complete the services in all respects in accordance with the solicitation documents. The Contractor here by warrants that all services will be performed in a timely and first-class workmanlike manner.
