The City of Ocala is seeking quotes from qualified Florida-licensed General or Building Contractors to perform comprehensive residential rehabilitation work on a single-family home located at 2217 SW 2nd Street in Ocala, Marion County, Florida. The Invitation to Bid (ITB# CDS/220360) requires the selected contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to complete extensive home renovations in strict accordance with rehabilitation specifications and the Florida Building Code. Key project deliverables include roof replacement, window upgrades, exterior and interior painting, bathroom renovation, electrical system updates, flooring installation, and various structural repairs. Contractors must have at least three years of experience in residential rehabilitation services and be prepared to complete the entire project within 90 days of the Notice to Proceed, with a mandatory start within 10 calendar days. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on March 20, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST, and the final bid submission deadline is March 31, 2025. The evaluation criteria focus on selecting the lowest bidder who meets all specified requirements, with bidders required to complete Exhibit B - Price Proposal and bid on all mandatory line items.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide substantial insurance coverage, including $1 million per occurrence for Commercial General Liability and Commercial Automotive Liability, as well as Workers' Compensation coverage. The project requires the contractor to perform at least 30% of the work with their own forces and provide a 12-month material and labor warranty. Preliminary documentation, including an Asbestos Survey Report and Lead Inspection Report, indicates no significant hazardous material challenges, with only minimal asbestos detected in window glazing and floor tile. The estimated permit cost is $300, which the contractor will be responsible for obtaining from the City of Ocala. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the rehabilitation suggests a moderate-scale residential renovation project. Optional line items include potential additions such as septic system work, exterior door replacement, and tankless water heater installation, which can be considered beyond the base project scope.
