Naples Beach Renourishment

Solicitation 26-8701 is a construction invitation to bid issued by the Collier County Procurement Services Division for the 2026 Naples Beach Renourishment project. With an anticipated budget of 6,000,000 dollars, the contract requires a qualified contractor to provide all labor, supplies, materials, and equipment necessary to transport, place, dress, grade, and till beach fill. The County will purchase the sand directly from Stewart's Immokalee sand mine, and the contractor is responsible for hauling the material to the beach using designated construction accesses at 3rd Avenue North and 17th Avenue South. The project is subject to FEMA Public Assistance funding and must comply with FDEP and USACE permits, as well as federal and state regulations including the Florida Trench Safety Act and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. The performance period requires work to commence within five calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion expected within 75 consecutive calendar days and final completion within 30 days following the delivery of the punch list. Bidders must demonstrate significant experience by providing five references, including at least three successfully completed truck haul beach renourishment projects of similar size within the last five years. Award requirements include a 5 percent bid bond and the provision of performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract amount. Evaluation and payment are based on a detailed bid schedule and strict sediment compliance specifications, including maximum silt and shell content limits. All bids must be submitted electronically via the Collier County bidding platform by the specified deadline.
