Residential Rehabilitation - Sandra Brown (2217 SW 2nd St. Ocala)

The City of Ocala has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) #CDS/250374 for a residential rehabilitation project located at 2217 SW 2nd St. in Ocala, Florida, seeking quotes from qualified Florida-licensed General or Building Contractors to perform comprehensive home renovation services. The project requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment to complete rehabilitation work in strict accordance with Florida Building Code specifications, with key deliverables including master bathroom renovation, HVAC updates, water heater replacement, attic insulation, window replacements, painting, kitchen cabinet work, interior repairs, flooring installation, electrical system upgrades, and exterior door replacement. Contractors must also address asbestos and lead remediation based on environmental survey reports. The non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for June 24, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST at the property, with bid responses due by July 2, 2025. Bidders must submit a completed Exhibit B - Price Proposal, bid on all line items on a lump sum basis, and include all direct and indirect costs. The contract requires a minimum of three years of experience in residential rehabilitation, with award to be made to the lowest bidder meeting all outlined requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must carry comprehensive insurance, including Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate), Commercial Automotive Liability, and Workers' Compensation insurance. The project requires a 12-month material and labor warranty, with liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day for delays beyond the specified 60-day completion timeline. Contractors must obtain all necessary permits and complete required inspections, with a maximum of 10 calendar days to begin work after the Notice to Proceed. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the Price Proposal document suggests a placeholder total bid amount of $450.00, though this appears to be incomplete given the extensive scope of work. The rehabilitation project involves multiple specialized contractors, including general/residential, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC specialists, to complete the comprehensive renovation of the residential property.
