The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and permitting. Key deliverables include the installation of number 57 stone gravel, the construction of a mulch path, and the verification of the existing well's operation. All work must comply with applicable building codes and green building standards per Executive Order 07-126 and Section 255.252(3), F.S. Additionally, the contractor must ensure that parking areas remain as close to existing conditions as possible to preserve the natural park atmosphere, and all clearing debris must be hauled off site as burning is strictly prohibited.

To avoid potential rejection, bidders must include signed acknowledgments of Addendum No. 1 and Addendum No. 2, the latter of which provides critical technical clarifications regarding electrical equipment, site grading, and hardware specifications.

The selected contractor must also utilize the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system for all employees and subcontractors.
