Perdido Key Community Center - Repairs

Solicitation PD 25-26.108 is an Invitation to Bid issued by the Escambia County Office of Purchasing for repairs to the Perdido Key Community Center in Florida. The project focuses on restoring the building's weather-resistant envelope and improving public safety by replacing deteriorated exterior components. The scope of work includes the removal and replacement of wood porch ceilings and outdated lighting fixtures with Hardie plank ceiling panels and wildlife-friendly LED fixtures, as well as replacing deteriorated stucco on the ADA access ramp with a Hardie plank siding system. The contractor is responsible for the removal of demolished materials, protection of adjacent surfaces, and full site restoration, ensuring all work complies with manufacturer guidelines, OSHA safety regulations, and applicable building codes. The contract is structured as a lump sum agreement with an additional unit price for sheathing repairs. Performance must be substantially completed within 90 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with final completion required within 120 days; failure to meet this deadline results in liquidated damages of 1,318.00 dollars per calendar day. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via the OpenGov portal by September 4, 2026, including mandatory certifications such as E-Verify, anti-human trafficking affidavits, and sworn statements on public entity crimes. Award selection is primarily based on the lowest responsive bid, though the County maintains discretion to select the firm that best serves its interests. Administration is managed by Travis Simmons, the Purchasing Grant Coordinator.
