Sidewalk Repair & Reconstruction Project

The City of DeBary, Florida issued Bid #03-20 for a Sidewalk Repair and Reconstruction Project targeting concrete sidewalk repairs and replacements at various city-wide locations during fiscal year 2020. The procurement solicited proposals from qualified construction contractors to perform concrete panel replacements ranging from single to multiple panels at different addresses throughout the city. Bidders were required to demonstrate a minimum of three completed commercial projects of similar scope within the past five years and maintain current general or flatwork concrete specialty contractor licensing. The bid submission deadline was March 27, 2020, at 2:00 p.m., with a public bid opening immediately following at DeBary City Hall. Contractors were mandated to submit one original and two copies of bid documents, including a signed proposal, itemized bid description, fee schedule, project schedule, professional references, insurance certificates, contractor's license, and potentially a performance bond. Evaluation criteria included price, quality, qualifications, compliance with requirements, and the City's discretion in selecting the most advantageous proposal. All work was expected to be completed within 30 days of contract execution, barring any granted extensions.

No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract was ultimately awarded to Huffman Inc. DBA NuWave Concrete, located in Sanford, Florida, for a total contract amount of $19,734.00. Contractors were required to maintain commercial general liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, along with additional automobile liability, umbrella coverage, and workers' compensation insurance. For projects totaling $200,000 or more, a performance bond equal to 100 percent of the bid amount was required within 10 calendar days of award notification. The bid documents indicated that purchase orders would be placed as needed, suggesting potential flexibility in project scope and funding. The City reserved the right to reject any or all proposals, providing significant discretion in the final contractor selection process.
