Ted Curcie Bridge Repair

Collier County is procuring construction services for the Ted Curcie Bridge Repair project through Bid No. 25-8522, a comprehensive bridge rehabilitation initiative located in Naples, Florida. The project involves extensive structural repairs including concrete spall restoration, cathodic protection system installation, structural pile jacket implementations for Bents 1-5, and shoreline stabilization. Specific technical requirements include polymer-modified concrete repairs, zinc anode installations, electrical continuity testing, and expanded zinc mesh anode implementations. Key technical qualifications mandate that bidders have at least one staff member with a NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) certification. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Collier County Procurement Services Conference Room, with sealed bids due electronically by October 2, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. local time. The project has a total anticipated construction timeline of 270 calendar days, with substantial completion expected within 240 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed and final completion due within 30 calendar days after the punch list is delivered.

The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must possess a State of Florida General Contractor or Building Contractor license and be FDOT Bridge Qualified. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 in commercial general liability and automobile liability coverage. The project's estimated budget is $873,723.54, with a 5% bid bond required and payment and performance bonds needed for 100% of the contract amount. Liquidated damages of $1,685 per calendar day will be assessed for failure to achieve substantial completion within the specified timeframe. The county reserves the right to reject any bid and postpone the award for up to 180 days from the bid opening date. Funding appears to be directly from Collier County, with no indication of grant funding, and the project is part of the county's transportation infrastructure maintenance and improvement efforts.
