NED Home Rehab - 124 Millet Cir

Escambia County's Neighborhood Enterprise Division (NED) is seeking a licensed and insured general contractor to perform a comprehensive residential rehabilitation project for a single-family home located at 124 Millet Circle in Cantonment, Florida. The procurement is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for home repair services funded through the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Housing Repair Program, with the primary objectives of improving home safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility. Specific project deliverables include plumbing repairs, kitchen and bathroom fixture replacements, cabinetry work, window replacement, and adherence to Escambia County Building Code requirements. Key procurement dates include a mandatory pre-quote site walk-through on September 3, 2025, at 9:30 AM, a question submission deadline of September 10, 2025, and a quote response deadline of September 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with quote reviews scheduled for September 12, 2025, at 11:30 AM. Contractors must submit electronic quotes through OpenGov Procurement and complete the project within a 60-day timeline, with liquidated damages of $150 per day for schedule overruns.

The procurement is open to general contractors who meet specific qualifications, including current Sunbiz registration, a valid contractor's license, current W-9, worker's compensation insurance, and liability insurance. New contractors must submit a letter of insurability, and for projects valued at $25,000 or higher, a 100% Performance and Payment Bond is required. The county may award line items separately, with particular focus on emergency services like roofing and septic/sewer repairs. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, contractors must provide a certificate of insurance listing Escambia County as an additional insured. Payment terms vary based on project value, with lump-sum payments for bids under $15,000 and phased payment schedules for larger projects, contingent upon milestone completion and final inspections. The project requires all electrical appliances to be EnergyStar approved, and contractors must use like or equal valued products. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope of work suggests a potentially significant investment in home rehabilitation services.
