The City of Doral is requesting bids for installation labor, equipment, and materials to install twenty-one starting block anchors and two backstroke flagpole anchors at the Doral Aquatic Center, with bids due October 26, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on October 14 at 10:00 a.m. The central qualification filter is a current Florida Commercial Pool/Spa Contractor License or equivalent authorization, plus demonstrated completion of a minimum of three commercial aquatics facility projects within the past five years.

Work must conform to manufacturer installation requirements, applicable codes, and industry best practices while minimizing disruption to ongoing Aquatic Center operations. The City furnishes the anchors; the contractor bears permit costs and all other expenses.
