RFP 04-19 Sidewalk Repair & Reconstruction Project

The City of DeBary, Florida, is soliciting proposals for RFP 04-19 Sidewalk Repair & Reconstruction Project, a comprehensive concrete sidewalk replacement initiative for fiscal year 2019. The procurement seeks qualified construction contractors to perform 4-inch concrete sidewalk repairs and replacements at various city-wide locations. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of three completed commercial projects of similar scope and at least five years of continual experience in concrete placement and finishing. Bidders are required to submit one original and two copies of bid documents, including a signed proposal, itemized bid schedule, project schedule, professional references, contractor's license, and insurance certificates. The bid submission deadline was March 1, 2019, at 10:00 A.M., with no mandatory pre-bid meeting, though contractors were required to submit questions to Project Manager Alan Williamson by February 22, 2019. The City will evaluate proposals based on price, quality, qualifications, compliance with requirements, and other discretionary factors. The contract specifies a 30-day completion timeline from contract execution, with work hours restricted to 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., and potential liquidated damages of $500 per day for delays beyond the completion date.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must be licensed general or flatwork concrete specialty contractors in Florida and maintain necessary certifications for Volusia County and the State of Florida. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate limits, along with Business Auto Liability, Commercial Umbrella, and Workers' Compensation insurance. Performance bonds equal to 100 percent of the bid amount are mandatory for projects exceeding $200,000. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and is not obligated to award the contract to the lowest bidder. The procurement appears to be structured as a unit price contract, with pricing submitted on an itemized bid schedule. No information about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration was provided in the available documentation.
