Residential Rehab- Windows Installation and Plumbing - Rose Brown (811 NW 11th Ave)

The City of Ocala is seeking quotes through Request for Quotation (RFQ# CDS/250340A) for a residential rehabilitation project located at 811 NW 11th Ave in Ocala, Florida. The procurement targets qualified Florida-licensed General or Building Contractors to perform comprehensive windows installation and plumbing work on an owner-occupied residential property. Specific deliverables include replacing existing windows with ENERGY Star Certified, single-hung, colonial-style vinyl or fiberglass windows, potential sliding glass door replacement, and minor plumbing improvements. Contractors must provide all labor, materials, and equipment while strictly adhering to rehabilitation specifications, guidelines, and Florida Building Code. Required qualifications include a minimum of three years of residential rehabilitation experience, comprehensive insurance coverage ($1 million per occurrence in Commercial General Liability and Commercial Automotive Liability), and the ability to perform at least 30% of the work with their own forces. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 24, 2025, at 9:30 AM EST, with proposals due by March 5, 2025. The project has a 90-day completion timeline, with work expected to begin within 10 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed.

The contract does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will be evaluated primarily on price, with the award going to the lowest bidder meeting all requirements. Supporting documentation reveals additional project complexities, including an asbestos survey that identified a surfacing material containing 2% Chrysotile asbestos, which must be removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to renovation. A lead inspection report confirmed no lead-based paint hazards at the property. The initial price proposal indicates a base bid amount of $300.00, with potential additional line items for materials and change orders subject to project manager approval. Contractors must submit a comprehensive 3-ring binder to the homeowner upon completion, including contractor information, warranties, owner manuals, and coating details. The project also requires a twelve-month material and labor warranty covering operational failures caused by defective materials or workmanship.
