Scott Rakow Youth Center Pool Improvements

City of Miami Beach, Florida is soliciting bids under Invitation to Quote for resurfacing the Scott Rakow Youth Center pool, with a mandatory site visit on November 10, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. ET and bids due November 23, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. ET through Bidnet Direct. Bidders must hold a State of Florida DBPR Certified Pool/Spa Contractor license, an OSHA 30-Hour Construction Outreach Training Certificate, and current Aquatic Facility Operator or Certified Pool Operator certification. Bidders must also show three pool improvement projects completed within the last five years, at least one of them municipal or commercial.

The work covers draining the pool, sandblasting and acid-washing the interior, leveling the floor, applying a bond coat, and installing SGM Diamond Brite 3X3 Cement Kit 6pc Blue Quartz or a City-approved equivalent per manufacturer requirements. The finish adds roughly 3/8 to 1/2 inch of thickness, so the existing pool depth must remain unchanged. The contractor must also refill the pool and complete a final inspection with the Owner. Unforeseen conditions and additional services are priced by hourly rate plus material markup on line items 5 and 6 of the Schedule of Values.

The estimated budget is $100,000.00, priced lump sum. Substantial completion is due within 10 days of Notice to Proceed, and final completion within 5 days after that, with liquidated damages of $200 per day for missed dates. The work is at 2700 Sheridan Avenue, Miami Beach. Bidders must post a bid bid equal to 5% of the total base bid by the bid deadline. No performance or payment bonds are required because the estimated value does not exceed $200,000. Required insurance includes Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability at $300,000 per occurrence, and Automobile Liability at $300,000 combined per accident. Davis-Bacon wage rates apply. No pre-bid conference will be held. Questions are due November 16, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET.
