Piling Relocation - Blackburn Point Park

Sarasota County is conducting a Quick Quote (QQ) procurement for a piling relocation project at Blackburn Point Park Rowing Dock, located in Siesta Key CDP. The county is seeking competitive bids from contractors to install two new concrete-filled eco-pilings, remove two existing terminal pilings, and relocate D-ring attachment points. Bidders must possess a General Contractor or Building Contractor license and provide three references demonstrating similar project experience within the last 7 years, including at least one dock modification project involving concrete-filled pilings. The project requires work to commence within 60 days of receiving a County Purchase Order and be completed within 180 days, with the county reserving the right to modify the schedule. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 2, 2025, at 800 Blackburn Point Road, and the deadline for question submissions is July 9, 2025, at 5:00 pm. The bid submission deadline is July 11, 2025, at 2:30 pm, with electronic submissions required through the county's secure procurement portal. The award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder providing the lowest total bid price, with a strict quote threshold of $50,000.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The county reserves the right to cancel the Quick Quote and re-solicit using another procurement method if no responsive quotes are received. Successful bidders must provide a Certificate of Insurance meeting the county's requirements and warranty all materials for one year from the date of County acceptance. The procurement allows for the potential purchase of additional quantities at the quoted unit price during the 30-day period following the award, with the possibility of extending pricing for up to one year. A contingency of up to 10% of the total bid price may be allowed for unforeseen circumstances, subject to County approval. The project involves replacing infrastructure at the Blackburn Point Floating Dock, which includes a 75' x 10' floating dock, a 20' x 8' aluminum gangway, and concrete ramp extensions. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive engineering specifications and project scope suggest a professionally managed infrastructure improvement project with careful attention to technical and environmental considerations.
