Stormwater Drainage System Replacement and Swale Improvements

The Town of Orange Park, Florida, is soliciting sealed bids for the replacement and improvement of its stormwater drainage system, including the removal and installation of 5,500 linear feet of new stormwater piping using HDPE, RCP, or PVC materials, along with excavation, restoration, and landscaping of adjacent swales, roadways, driveways, and sidewalks. Bids must be submitted to the Town Clerk at 2042 Park Avenue, Orange Park, Florida 32073, by July 8, 2026, at 10:00 AM, with envelopes clearly marked with the project title and bid opening time and date. The solicitation number is RFP-PW-04-0-2026/CR, issued on June 4, 2026, and the NAICS code is 70171800. Proposals must comply with all specifications, and non-compliant or improperly labeled submissions will be deemed non-responsive. The contract requires adherence to Florida state and local regulations, OSHA safety standards, FDOT or Town MOT standards, and all applicable building codes, with specifications taking precedence over minimum code requirements. The award will be made based on a best-value trade-off methodology, evaluating five weighted factors: Relevant Experience, Technical Approach, and Cost each at 25%, Schedule at 15%, and References at 10%. No single factor is determinative, and the lowest price will not automatically win; instead, the Town seeks the bidder demonstrating the highest overall competency and ability to perform satisfactory service. Performance is expected to begin within 10 days of the Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion required within 210 calendar days and final completion within 240 calendar days. Deliverables include a Construction Schedule, Shop Drawings, Traffic Control Plan, Daily Progress Reports, As-Built Drawings, Warranty Documentation, and Performance and Payment Bonds. Invoicing must be submitted in duplicate via email to invoicepw@townop.com, including Purchase Order name, description, quantity, unit price, and extended total. The Town’s Finance Department, under John Villanueva, handles payment. No UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications are required; there is no MBE participation goal. Contractors must register with E-Verify within 90 days of award, certify they do not employ unauthorized aliens, and ensure all subcontractors comply with contractual obligations.
