The District intends to select the proposal that is in the best interests of the District.. The District reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, make modifications to the work, award the contract in whole or in part with or without cause, and waive minor or technical irregularities in any Proposal, as it deems appropriate, if it determines in its discretion that it is in the District's best interests to do so. Any protest of the Project Manual, including the terms and specifications, must be filed with the District within 72 hours of pickup of the Project Manual, together with a protest bond in a form acceptable to the District and in the amount of $10,000.00. In the event the protest is successful, the protest bond shall be refunded to the protestor. In the event the protest is unsuccessful, the protest bond shall be applied towards the District's costs, expenses and attorney's fees associated with hearing and defending the protest. Failure to timely file a protest will result in a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, and other law.
Firms desiring to provide construction services for the referenced Project must submit one (1) original copy and one (1) electronic copy via USB of the required proposal no later than 12:00 p.m. (EST) on May 28, 2025, at the Solterra Resort Amenity Center, 5200 Solterra Boulevard, Davenport, Florida 33837.
