NED Home Rehab - 1612 Lepely Rd

Escambia County's Neighborhood Enterprise Division (NED) is seeking qualified general contractors for a residential rehabilitation project located at 1612 Lepely Rd in Pensacola, Florida. The procurement is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) focused on comprehensive home repairs, specifically targeting roofing and electrical system upgrades to improve the safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility of an owner-occupied, single-family residence. The project will be funded through the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Housing Repair Program and requires contractors to submit electronic quotes through the OpenGov Procurement platform by October 1, 2025, at 1:00 pm. A mandatory pre-quote meeting is scheduled for September 26, 2025, at 9:00 am, where potential bidders can review the site and scope of work. The project scope includes detailed specifications for roofing repairs, such as removing existing roof coverings, replacing damaged decking, installing architectural shingles, and comprehensive electrical system upgrades to meet national electrical code standards. Contractors must provide pricing for line items, with the county reserving the right to award individual line items, particularly for emergency roofing and septic/sewer services.

The contract opportunity is open to licensed and insured general contractors who are in good standing with Escambia County, with new contractors required to submit a letter of insurability and provide documentation including Sunbiz registration, a W-9, and current contractor licensure. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Contractors must possess current workers' compensation insurance, liability insurance, and EPA RRP certifications. While no specific total project budget is explicitly stated, the procurement indicates milestone-based payments for bids over $15,000, with a lump sum payment structure for bids under that threshold. The project has a 60-day completion timeline, with liquidated damages of $150 per day for contractors exceeding the contract period. Notably, the project does not involve federal funding, which may simplify the procurement process. The county will evaluate bids based on being the lowest, most responsive, and most responsible bidder, with the potential to adjust the project scope to maintain budgetary constraints.
