Residential Rehabilitation - West (812 NW 2nd St, Ocala)

The City of Ocala, located in Marion County, Florida, is seeking quotes from qualified Florida licensed General or Building Contractors to perform comprehensive residential rehabilitation work on a property located at 812 NW 2nd St, Ocala. The procurement, identified as RFQ# CDS/250739, requires a contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to rehabilitate the residential home in strict accordance with rehabilitation specifications, guidelines, and the Florida Building Code. Key deliverables include roof replacement with dimensional asphalt shingles, window replacements with Energy Star certified products, potential mold/lead/asbestos remediation, and comprehensive property restoration. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for June 19, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST at the project site, with proposals due by June 30, 2025. Evaluation criteria include the lowest bid price for all mandatory line items, with the contractor required to complete the entire project within 30 days of the Notice to Proceed, submit a 3-ring binder of project documentation, and maintain all necessary permits and inspections.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the contract requires the selected contractor to have a minimum of three years of experience in residential rehabilitation services and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1 million per occurrence in Commercial General Liability and $2 million aggregate. The project will be funded through a grant program, with the contractor responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and conducting required inspections. The total project budget appears to be relatively modest, with a permit allowance of $300.00 and potential additional costs for change-ordered items as approved by the project manager. The contractor must perform at least 30% of the work with their own forces and will be subject to liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day for project delays. The contract also includes a 12-month material and labor warranty against operational failure, and invoicing will be handled monthly or through draw requests submitted to the City's Rehabilitation Specialist.
