The City of Fort Myers is seeking qualified firms to design and construct prefabricated pavilions at four city parks: Dunbar Park, Jefferson Park, Dupree/Aztec Park, and Freemont Park, as part of a hurricane recovery initiative. The project requires Florida Certified Contractors to provide a 16' x 16' prefabricated pavilion at each site, including site preparation, concrete foundations, and installation of pavilion structures. Acceptable manufacturers include Superior Recreational Product and RCP Shelters, with pavilions required to meet Florida Building Code wind load design specifications. The Invitation to Bid (ITB 0057-24) was released on July 18, 2024, with a pre-submission meeting scheduled for July 30, 2024, at 10:00 am, and bid responses due by August 23, 2024, at 2:00 pm. Bidders are strongly encouraged to visit each site and familiarize themselves with existing conditions, and the City prefers using Procore as the construction management platform. The bid schedule includes line items for each park's work, with an owner-directed work allowance of $10,000 per site. The procurement opportunity includes multiple set-aside and participation requirements for disadvantaged enterprises. The City of Fort Myers has established a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) goal of 15% for the project, with contractors required to document good faith efforts in engaging minority-owned businesses. Local preference points will be awarded based on office location, with 5 points for firms located in Fort Myers, 3 points for firms elsewhere in Lee County, and 0 points for out-of-county businesses. Contractors must comply with Build America, Buy America (BABA) provisions, ensuring the use of iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials produced in the United States. Federal DBE requirements also mandate an overall 10.67% DBE goal, with contractors required to complete detailed certifications and reporting. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the project involves four park locations with individual site allowances and appears to be funded through hurricane recovery resources. Interested firms must possess current business licenses for Florida, Lee County, and the City of Fort Myers, and must provide comprehensive insurance coverage and performance bonds.
