NED Home Rehab - 11 Wyoming St.

Escambia County's Neighborhood Enterprise Division (NED) is seeking qualified general contractors for a comprehensive residential rehabilitation project located at 11 Wyoming Street in Pensacola, Florida. The procurement is a home repair initiative funded through the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Housing Repair Program, aimed at making the property safer, more energy efficient, and more accessible. The scope of work includes extensive renovations such as roofing repairs, which involve removing existing roof covering, replacing damaged decking, installing new underlayment, vents, and flashing, as well as reconstructing the home's front landing, stairs, and handrail to meet building codes and ADA guidelines. Key project dates include a mandatory pre-quote meeting on September 4, 2025, at 9:00am, a question submission deadline of September 10, 2025, and a quote submission deadline of September 11, 2025, at 1:00pm. The project has a 60-day completion timeline with liquidated damages of $150 per day for exceeding the contract period, and bids must be submitted electronically through OpenGov Procurement.

Contractors must be licensed, insured, and in good standing with Escambia County, with new contractors required to submit a letter of insurability. The county may award line items separately, particularly for emergency services like roofing and septic/sewer work. Vendors are required to provide proof of Sunbiz registration, a W-9, and a current contractor's license. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, there are strict qualification requirements for contractors, including documentation needs for jobs valued at $25,000 or higher, such as performance and payment bonds. The payment structure varies, with a lump sum approach for bids under $15,000 and a phased payment schedule for larger projects. The solicitation emphasizes the use of EnergyStar approved appliances with LED bulbs, and contractors are expected to use like, similar, or equal valued products. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the rehabilitation suggests a significant investment in improving the residential property's condition and functionality.
