Zephyrhills City Parks Signage

The City of Zephyrhills is soliciting competitive bids from qualified contractors to fabricate, deliver, and install new monument signage across nine city park locations, including North Monument, South Monument, Depot Park, Ellis Harrold Park, Gunner Paw Park, Krusen Park, Shepard Park, Transplant Park, and Veteran's Memorial Park. The comprehensive procurement requires contractors to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, permits, and services for sign installation, with specific requirements for precast concrete caps, turquoise green tiles, limestone veneer, stucco finish, pin-mounted aluminum lettering, and solar lighting. Project objectives include enhancing park visibility, implementing consistent city branding, and improving aesthetic appeal through durable signage installations. The project demands extensive site preparation, including excavation, grading, drainage adjustments, utility coordination, and post-installation restoration to original or improved conditions. Contractors must comply with federal, state, and local regulations, including Florida Department of Transportation specifications, Americans with Disabilities Act standards, and environmental requirements. The solicitation was posted on September 19, 2025, with the same date serving as the proposal submission deadline, and requires comprehensive documentation including shop drawings, material samples, warranties, and as-built surveys.

Bidders must demonstrate compliance with various certifications, including E-Verify, drug-free workplace attestation, and other regulatory confirmations. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, contractors will be evaluated on their ability to meet technical specifications, provide comprehensive warranties, and demonstrate technical competence. The project includes a 10% contingency for potential additional materials or labor, with contractors required to provide a minimum two-year warranty on workmanship and installation, supplemented by manufacturer warranties for all materials and components. Although a specific budget range is not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the project, involving signage for nine park locations with complex design requirements, suggests a significant investment. The procurement is open to contractors with demonstrated experience in municipal park signage, construction expertise, and the capability to manage a multi-site installation project with minimal disruption to public park operations. The contract will be awarded based on technical compliance, quality of proposed solutions, warranty provisions, and overall project approach.
