The contractor must hold a valid Florida contractor's license, demonstrate two years of experience in similar residential rehabilitation work, provide proof of completion of at least three comparable contracts, and furnish three professional references. All work must comply with the Florida Building Code and applicable federal, state, county, and city codes.

A bid bond equal to 5% of the total bid amount is required if the bid exceeds $100,000; performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount are required if the contract exceeds $200,000. The contractor must guarantee all work for no less than one year from acceptance and maintain 24/7 availability for City requests. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
