St. Johns River State College is requesting qualifications from building, general, civil (site work), mechanical, and roofing contractors seeking pre-qualified contractor status for calendar year 2027, with responses due October 27, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. ET. Pre-qualification certificates enable contractors to respond to competitive solicitations within approved categories during 2027 across the College's four-campus system in Clay, Putnam, and St. Johns Counties.

All applicants must meet mandatory evaluation criteria: proof of Florida licensure; evidence of bonding capacity equal to or exceeding the requested category threshold; certificates of insurance including Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, Commercial General Liability at $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 general aggregate, Automobile Liability at $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Professional Liability at $1,000,000 per occurrence; financial statements demonstrating adequate resources; and references confirming quality performance. Applicants must also submit notarized public entity crime sworn statements, drug-free workplace certification, conflict of interest disclosures, E-Verify registration confirmation, and anti-human trafficking affidavits.

Pre-qualification categories span from Category 1 ($0–$200,000 total contract volume) through Category 8 ($0–$30,000,000), representing the total dollar volume of work permitted under contract at any one time and the maximum value of individual projects. Anticipated work includes miscellaneous minor construction, renovation, remodeling, general repairs, space additions, roof repair or replacement, and site work, designed and built according to State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF) and the Florida Building Code. Responses will be publicly opened October 27 at 3:30 p.m. ET, with committee evaluation on November 10 and the District Board of Trustees awarding certificates on December 2, 2026. Pre-qualification certificates will be issued by email approximately 30 business days after notice of award.
