Renovation of Wading Pool at Sun N Fun Lagoon

Collier County's Parks and Recreation Division is seeking qualified vendors to complete a comprehensive renovation of the wading pool at Sun N Fun Lagoon, located at North Collier Regional Park. The Quick Quote procurement is a one-time project requiring a Certified Pool Contractor with a minimum of three years of commercial experience working on pumps. Specific renovation deliverables include demolishing existing marcite and tile, pressure testing plumbing, installing new marcite and tiles, replacing depth markers and main drain covers, and performing upgrades to the surge pit, including replacing butterfly valves and concrete curbs. The project's pricing proposal is structured as a lump sum with three line items: Mobilization/Aquatic Supervision/General Conditions, Wading Pool Renovation, and Wading Pool Surge Pit Renovation. Key procurement dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on October 31, 2025, at 3:00 pm, vendor questions due by November 7, 2025, and final proposal submissions due by November 14, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The contract will be awarded to the responsive vendor with the lowest quote, with all work expected to comply with ANSI/PHTA/ICC/NPC-12 2025 Standards.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed, the procurement documents outline extensive vendor requirements, including mandatory compliance with ethical standards and immigration verification through the E-Verify program. Vendors must possess appropriate business licenses, provide certificates of authority to conduct business in Florida, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Automobile Liability. For projects exceeding $200,000, performance and payment bonds are required, underwritten by a surety rated "A-" or better. The contractor must provide a one-year warranty on all materials and work, guaranteeing they are brand new, free from defects, and meet performance specifications. Though specific budget ranges were not explicitly stated, the detailed insurance and bonding requirements suggest a project of significant financial scope. The county will require detailed documentation, including proof of insurance with Collier County named as an additional insured, and vendors must ensure subcontractors meet identical insurance requirements.
