Vanderbilt Beach Parking Garage Elevator Repair

Collier County Board of County Commissioners has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 24-8256 for the Vanderbilt Beach Parking Garage Elevator Repair, a project specifically addressing flood damage sustained during Hurricane Ian. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to complete comprehensive elevator repairs, including platform renovation, communication board replacement, travel cable replacement, pit restoration, hydraulic system repairs, and installation of new ADA telephone and light ray reversal devices. Vendors must comply with Collier County Vertical Standards and the Florida Building Code, possess appropriate certifications and licenses, and be prepared to complete the entire project within 90 days of receiving the Notice to Proceed. The bid is due on June 3, 2024, at 3 PM EDT, with all submissions required through the county's Online Bidding System. Evaluation will focus on identifying the lowest responsive and responsible vendor representing the best value, with the intent to award to a single contractor. Successful bidders must coordinate inspections, utilize the County's Project Management Information System (PMIS)-Procore, and provide a minimum one-year warranty on all completed work.

The contract opportunity appears to have several specific enterprise participation requirements, including mandatory E-Verify enrollment, immigration law compliance, and provisions for disadvantaged, minority, women-owned, and veteran-owned business participation. The project is funded through FEMA (Project Number DR 4673), which introduces additional federal compliance requirements outlined in the 2 C.F.R. Part 200 guidelines. Contractors must submit comprehensive documentation, including a Vendor Declaration Statement, Conflict of Interest Certification, and Immigration Affidavit Certification. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating coverage including Worker's Compensation, Employer's Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Automobile Liability, with specific coverage limits. For projects exceeding $200,000, Performance and Payment Bonds covering 100% of the contract award are required, with the surety rated "A-" or better. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the elevator repair and associated federal funding suggest a substantial project investment.
