Vanderbilt Beach Library Welcome Sign

Collier County's Procurement Services Division is seeking a vendor to replace the damaged welcome sign at the Vanderbilt Beach Public Library located at 788 Vanderbilt Beach Rd in Naples, Florida. The project requires fabricating and installing a new sign with specific design specifications: 48" Height x 72" Wide x 2" Depth, constructed of welded .090 aluminum with an Essex Green front face and white back side. The vendor must also install two 6" x 6" square aluminum posts and obtain all necessary permits. Key deliverables include submitting a sign proof to the Library Division for approval, which must incorporate the Collier County Palm Tree Logo and specify "Public Library, Vanderbilt Beach Branch" with an overall height of 84" above ground. The procurement is structured as a Quick Quote with a release date of October 25, 2024, a question submission deadline of November 1, 2024 at 5:00 PM, and a response submission deadline of November 13, 2024 at 3:00 PM. Award will be made to the responsive vendor with the lowest quote, with all pricing to be submitted as a lump sum and inclusive of materials, labor, permit fees, and engineering fees.

The contract opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations. Vendors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including $500,000 for Employer's Liability, $1,000,000 single limit and $2,000,000 aggregate for Commercial General Liability, and $500,000 for Automobile Liability. Additional submission requirements include a Certificate of Insurance, E-Verify Registration proof, Florida Sunbiz Registration, W-9, and proof of the proposed sign. For projects exceeding $200,000, performance and payment bonds are required, underwritten by a surety rated "A-" or better. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is structured as a one-time purchase with all-inclusive pricing. Vendors must ensure compliance with Collier County's Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, which outline detailed operational and financial expectations, including public records management, vendor indemnification, and potential contract termination provisions.
