PBC North County Shore Protection

Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management is requesting sealed bids for the North County Comprehensive Shore Protection Project Segments II & III (Project 2026ERM02), a federally funded beach berm and dune construction, with bids due November 18, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at Vista Center, 2300 Jog Road, West Palm Beach.

Because this project is funded through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants, Palm Beach County's Local Preference, Glades Local Preference, Apprentice Incentive, Glades Resident Incentive, and SBE ordinances do not apply. No Davis-Bacon wage rates or Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation goals apply.

The scope involves constructing a beach berm and dune feature using approximately 980,000 cubic yards of beach-compatible sand from an offshore borrow area located 3.5 to 6.5 miles northeast of the project area. The sand will be hydraulically screened to remove oversized rock and shell. The successful bidder must achieve substantial completion within 120 calendar days, with final completion within 30 days after delivery of the owner's punch list. At bid submission, bidders and all identified subcontractors must be properly certified and licensed in the State of Florida.

The County will award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder and intends to award the contract to one contractor. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to 5% of the bid price. The successful bidder will furnish payment and performance bonds, each equal to 100% of the total contract price, within 14 days of notification of intent to award.

A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held virtually and in-person on November 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., with a non-mandatory site visit at 1:30 p.m. at 14,200 U.S. Highway 1, Juno Beach; pre-registration for the site visit is required by 5:00 p.m. on October 30. Contract documents are available for download as of October 19. Addendum #1 (2026ERM02) has been posted and supersedes or supplements original solicitation documents; bidders must acknowledge receipt and incorporate its requirements.
