26-45 Bay County Government Center Rotunda Renovation Project

The contract involves the renovation of the rotunda area and connecting spaces at the Bay County Government Center, covering approximately 4,524 square feet. The existing ceramic tiles and mortar will be removed, followed by heavy grinding of the substrate with dust control measures. A specialized exterior coating system will be applied, starting with a primer mixed with sand aggregate, then a concrete leveling base system which will be polished, and finally a UV-resistant topcoat blended with a color matrix and integrated heavy-grade slip-resistant granules. Additional improvements include the installation of new recessed door mats and replacing monumental stairs with a short ADA-compliant ramp, featuring two small dividers or planters and illuminated handrails. The project must be completed while the facility remains fully operational, requiring the work to be phased in up to four segments and ensuring at least two of the three main building entrances remain accessible at all times to maintain safe egress. The solicitation for this project was posted by the Facilities Maintenance department in Florida with a response deadline of June 23, 2026. The contract mandates strict adherence to the detailed scope of work and specifications outlined by Florida Architects, Inc., referenced in the project manual and exhibits. Primary and secondary points of contact include the Facilities Management Division Manager, Michael Miller, and the Grant Procurement Administrator, Ken Longstreet. The work is to be performed in Florida, specifically impacting the Bay County Government Center located in Panama City, with a focus on safety, durability, accessibility, and aesthetic improvements in a highly trafficked government facility.
