Parks Entrance Sign Rebranding

The City of Port St. Lucie has issued Invitation for Bid 20260259 for the rebranding of 41 Parks and Recreation entrance signs. The project focuses on creating a unified visual identity across the park system by replacing topper and middle panels on existing sign structures. The scope of work includes the fabrication of high-density urethane panels, painting with specific PMS color matching and satin finishes using Matthews Paint products, and the addition of park establishment dates. The project involves various sign types, including single-face and double-face neighborhood and community signs, as well as a specialized panel for Jessica Clinton Community Park. The initial contract term is 180 calendar days, with work permitted from 7:00 a.m. to sundown, Monday through Friday. Bids must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by October 8, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. Requirements for submission include a bid bond of at least 5 percent of the bid total, which can be submitted as a hard copy or an electronic bond through Surety2000. The City will award the contract based on the best value, considering cost, contractor capability, and local preference, though the lowest price is not the sole determining factor. Performance and payment bonds are required for projects exceeding 200,000 dollars. Payment is subject to a 5 percent retainage and follows the Florida Prompt Payment Act, with invoices submitted monthly. Contractors must also certify compliance with drug-free workplace laws, anti-human trafficking regulations, and Florida's scrutinized companies lists.
