RFP Stairs, Bulkheads & Boardwalk Replacements Westwood Property

Jacksonville Housing Authority is requesting proposals for stairs, bulkheads, and boardwalk replacements at its Westwood property in Jacksonville, Florida under RFP CS-006-26, with proposals due September 30, 2026 and a mandatory site walkthrough on either September 11 or September 18, 2026. Davis-Bacon federal wage rates apply, and Section 3 hiring requirements for low-income residents are mandatory due to HUD funding.

The scope encompasses demolition labor and structural replacement of stairs, bulkheads, and boardwalk at 1171 Lane Ave South, Jacksonville, FL 32210. Contractors must be licensed and insured. The project completion period is up to 180 days after notice to proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $150 per day for schedule failures. A minimum one-year warranty on all work is required. Proposed fees must be all-inclusive with no price escalation except through approved change orders.

Contract value is not specified. The contract term is project-based. Evaluation uses a low-bid basis with consideration of responsiveness and responsibility, allocating 100 points across objective factors (proposed costs and Section 3 contractor status) and subjective factors (demonstrated understanding, technical approach, capabilities, experience, and proposal quality).

Bid bonds equivalent to 5% of the bid price are required for bids exceeding $100,000, and performance and payment bonds are required from the successful bidder. Progress payments are made at 30-day intervals with 10% retainage held until final completion. No deposits or retainer fees will be paid by the Agency.

The pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 2, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST via Teams. Written inquiries are due September 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. Proposals must be submitted in sealed envelopes to JHA at 1300 Broad Street N., Jacksonville, FL 32202. The project is subject to OSHA regulations and compliance with all local, state, and federal requirements.
