About this opportunity
Clay County, Florida is seeking bids for the Moody Park National Fitness Campaign Slab project located at 3510 Moody Avenue in Orange Park. The procurement involves constructing a 72' x 38' reinforced concrete slab and approximately 1,000 square feet of sidewalk, with concrete material to be supplied by Major Concrete, LLC. Contractors must provide all labor, equipment, and site improvements, with a requirement to self-perform at least 40% of the work. The project requires substantial completion within 30 days of the Notice to Proceed, with final completion expected 30 calendar days after punch list delivery. Key bidding dates include a mandatory pre-bid meeting on September 22, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with the last day for inquiries on September 26, 2025, at 4:30 PM, and bid submissions due on October 6, 2025, at 4:00 PM. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, business automobile liability, workers' compensation, and builder's risk. The county will evaluate bids based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with a local preference policy in effect.
The procurement has specific restrictions on bidder qualifications, including E-Verify registration, drug-free workplace certification, and proof of appropriate licenses and insurance. Contractors are prohibited from contacting county employees during the bid period, with strict communication guidelines enforced. The project includes a two-year warranty on workmanship and materials, with liquidated damages set at $100 per day past the final completion date. An environmental resource permit from the St. Johns River Water Management District has already been secured for the project, covering a 0.9-acre development area. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the county's procurement policy suggests a commitment to fair and competitive bidding. The project is part of the Moody Avenue Park improvement initiative, with additional components like the Fitness Court and Fitness Court Studio to be installed by separate contractors. Although a specific budget range is not detailed, the comprehensive bid documents and site-specific requirements suggest a significant municipal infrastructure investment.
