The solicitation, numbered 10726 Addendum 1 and posted on May 8, 2026, has a response deadline of August 8, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with all submissions required electronically in PDF/A format featuring embedded fonts, searchable text, and a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.

The Village encourages participation from Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, Women-Owned, and Minority-Owned businesses and offers reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities. The scope of work, detailed in supporting attachments including the Project Description, Purchase and Sale Agreement, and Boundary Survey, requires proposers to deliver comprehensive conceptual designs, financing strategies, energy efficiency plans, and public benefit assessments aligned with Village quality standards and environmental compliance including ASTM E1527-05 Phase I ESA requirements. While no formal FAR clauses are incorporated, the contract references OSHA, NIOSH, and NFPA safety standards and mandates adherence to local ordinances. The evaluation process favors proposals that best serve the Village’s interests through a trade-off approach, weighing responsiveness, compliance, completeness, and financial strategy rather than solely price. The Contracting Officer’s Representative is Steve Gillette, with payment administered through the Village’s Accounts Payable office, and the place of performance is firmly located within Estero, Florida. No federal appropriation data or military standards apply, as funding is derived entirely from local sources.
