MDAD will provide any signed and sealed documents necessary, where required, to secure permits. The contractor is to adjust their work order schedule based on the time necessary for MDAD to provide such documents.

CONTRACTOR shall review all documents, specifications, and scope of work provided by Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) for work to be completed. Please refer to the Technical Specification for General Contractor for further description of the scope of work.
1. This work order-based contract shall be for a maximum term of two (2) years. The total contract allocation is $4,500,000. Work shall be authorized on an as needed basis via Work Orders by the MDAD PM. MDAD offers no guarantee that the $4,500,000 will be used in full nor that the contract will extend for the entire 2 years maximum term.
2. One (1) contractor for General Contractor trade with a corresponding contract value of $4,500,000 shall be selected to participate in this work order- based program. Selection of contractor shall be made by MDAD and shall be based on competitive unit prices (including contractor mark-up), qualifications, experience, past performance, availability and capacity. One (1) Request-for-Price Quotation (RPQs) shall be advertised for General Contractor trade.
3. Pricing for Work Orders shall be based on unit prices established on the Supplemental Bid Form to be distributed along with the RPQ documents following the mandatory pre-bid conference call. Prospective bidders are cautioned that failure to complete and submit the Supplemental Bid Form with the bid documents shall result in their bid being rescinded. Charging rates shall be all inclusive (i.e., wages & salary, labor burden, overhead & profit, current Prevailing/Responsive wages, $5 million liability insurance, etc.).
Any minor variation in the scope of work that is necessary to complete the intended work shall be considered incidental and will not warrant additional compensation. Any major variation encountered in the scope of work that is necessary to complete the intended work will be additional work and will be compensated through a contingency allowance account, dedicated allowance account, or change order. However, such major variation shall be completed without delay. Contractor shall use an adequate number of qualified workers who are thoroughly trained in the techniques required to properly complete the work specified. Contractor will own or have access to the equipment necessary and to meet all safety, insurance, and technical requirements of the owner and local, county, state, and federal regulating authorities. The grand total bid price shall be reflected on the RPQ Bid Form – Attachment 5A.
4. Note: Pursuant to the requirements of Section 10-3 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, selected Contractors must possess a valid, current, and active State of Florida and/or Miami-Dade County contractor's license issued by the County's Construction Trades Qualifying Board and which is consistent with the requirements of their respective trade and the scope of work.
5. Since a conference call does not require a physical presence, social distancing practices for COVID-19 are being adhered to. Bidders are still required/responsible for participating in the MANDATORY conference call. Failure to participate in the MANDATORY conference call shall result in the corresponding contractor/company being considered non-responsive. Contractors are extremely encouraged to call 5 minutes before the scheduled meeting time for a roll call. Late arrivals to the conference call shall result in the contractor/company being considered non-responsive.
The conference call will be recorded.
The dial-in instructions for the conference call are described below:
• Dial in: 305-876-8333
• Meeting ID: 5762555
• Passcode/Pin: 5869
The agenda for the pre-bid conference call meeting will be sent to you via email to be used during the meeting. Make sure you receive it, if not, please check your junk email or contact our office.
6. Prospective bidders are responsible for taking into consideration all applicable Ordinances and/or Regulations in force at the time of the bid, that may affect unit prices. Selected contractors must agree to respond to an emergency/priority call within two (2) hours of first contact from MDAD staff and be available to respond 24 hours per day and 7 days a week with the necessary equipment, materials and labor force to complete the required work in accordance with MDAD’s schedule for completion. The definition of an adequate response shall be determined at MDAD’s sole discretion on a case-by-case basis. Once a contractor has responded within two (2) hours, MDAD staff will work with the contractor to determine the best course of action, establish the scope of the work and schedule the work. Failure to respond two consecutive times within two (2) hours of being contacted for work may result in the firm being removed from participation in the work order based program. Most work will have to be completed after regular business hours (i.e., night time) to minimize disruptions to the routine business operations of the MDAD and/or its business partners.
7. Prospective bidders shall submit a Bid Bond at the time of Bid submission. Bidders may use the Surety Company standard bid bond. Alternatively, a certified or cashier’s check will be acceptable in lieu of the bid bond.
The Performance & Payment (P&P) bond must be submitted, using the contract specified form, within ten (10) working days from receipt of the Recommendation for Award (RFA) or time extension approved by the MDAD project manager. The P&P bond shall be required for the full contract amount of $4,500,000 or in the amount of one year allocation of $2,250,000. The yearly bond shall be renewed and resubmitted annually. Furthermore, in the event that the Work Orders issued under any contract term exceeds the annual bonding capacity, then the awarded contractor shall be responsible for increasing the P&P bond to match the current aggregate of all Work Order amounts while the value of active work exceeds the bonding capacity. P&P Bond shall be submitted once the low “responsive and responsible” bidder is determined and the Recommendation for Award is issued. The cost for the bond premium shall be authorized for reimbursement by the MDAD via a written Work Order. Proper back-up documentation verifying the bond premium cost shall be submitted by the awarded contractor before requesting reimbursement. For Contractors opting to submit an initial payment and performance (P&P) bond in the yearly amount, the Bid Bond shall be accompanied by a Commitment letter from the Contractor’s Bonding Company acknowledging that the total amount of the P&P Bond is $4,500,000 and the duration of the contract is two (2) years.
8. Compliance with the Aviation Department (MDAD)'s Environmental Policy, ISO 14000 certification and Commissioning requirements will be strictly enforced by the MDAD PM. These requirements will be discussed during the mandatory pre- bid conference call.
9. Once a site visit is scheduled and attended by the Contractor, MDAD staff will work with the contractor to determine the best course of action, establish the scope of the work and schedule the work. Thereafter, the Contractor shall submit a formal proposal within 10 business days after the site meeting with a detailed scope of work to be performed and its cost breakdown. MDAD, based on the complexity of the scope of work, may grant additional time for the submission of the required proposal. The request for additional time shall be submitted in writing to the PM/CM in order to be valid and considered for approval by MDAD staff. Contractors that do not submit the required proposal as previously mentioned, will be issued a letter for deficiency. If the Contractor fails to provide a proposal after the deficiency letter has been sent, a Notice to Cure will be issued. Upon the contractor not submitting the required proposal after a Notice to Cure letter has been issued, the Contractor may be Terminated for Default as established in Article 11D2 of the Standard Construction General Contract Conditions.
MDAD reserves the right to suspend non-compliant contractors from participation in the MDAD/MCC 7360 Work-Order Based program.
10. Contractor will be responsible for all work until accepted by MDAD. Any damages to any newly completed or in progress work will be the sole responsibility of the contractor to fix at no additional cost to the MDAD. The contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with repair and/or replacement of property damage and/or any other condition resulting from negligence or failure to protect the work area. No time extension will be granted for any delays related to such damages. All areas disturbed by Contractor will be repaired and or replaced to original condition as directed by MDAD.
11. The awarded contractor is responsible for the safety and security of the job site. Any vandalism, theft, etc. which occurs during the construction time is the responsibility of the contractor. No monetary compensation shall be granted if any of the above occurs. If Contractor opts to hire an independent Security Company, such company is to be properly bonded and insured. Contractors shall provide an established safety program and implementation policy. Contractors’ safety programs shall be reviewed and approved by MDAD post-bid submittal and work orders shall not be issued to any contractor until their safety program is approved by MDAD.
12. If the awarded contractor shall neglect, fail, or refuse to complete the work within the time specified for Substantial Completion in the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and/or subsequent Work Orders, then the contractor hereby agrees, as part of the consideration for the awarding of this Contract, to pay to the Owner, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the sum of $130.00 per day for each calendar day beyond the dates set forth in the NTP and/or Work Order(s). The said amount is fixed and agreed on by and between the Contractor and the Owner because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the true value of the damages which the Owner will sustain by failure of the Contractor to complete the Work on time, such as loss of revenue, service charges, interest charges, delays caused to other construction activities of Owner by failure to perform this Contract, and other damages, some of which are indefinite and not susceptible of easy proof. Said amount is agreed to be a reasonable estimate of the amount of damages which the Owner will sustain and said amount shall be deducted from any monies due or that may become due to the contractor, and if said monies are insufficient to cover said damages, then the Contractor shall pay the amount of the difference. Substantial completion does not relieve the contractor of completing the project in its entirety, nor does it obligate the owner to pay the entire contract price. Final acceptance is achieved when a Certificate of Completion (i.e., if required), acceptable warranties, final payrolls, final releases or acceptable Consent of Surety and documentation required in the contract documents has been submitted for approval to the MDAD project manager.
13. Valid MDAD identification (ID) badges with a U.S. Customs Seal will be required as well as vehicle decals to enter airside. The selected contractor and their employees must comply with all MDAD security requirements including background checks, security badges, specialized aviation-related insurance requirements, etc. MDAD may, at its sole discretion, consider making these security-related expenses reimbursable.
Upon the award, the awarded contractor will have up to sixty (60) calendar days to provide a copy of the security badges with the Customs Seal to MDAD/MPEC Division. If the Contractor fails to secure and provide a copy of the required Badges with the Customs Seal after thirty (30) calendar days following the issuance of the NTP, Contractor may be terminated for default as established in Article 11D2 of the Standard Construction General Contract Conditions. MDAD reserves the right to suspend non-compliant contractors from participation in the MDAD/MCC 7360 program.
The following items are reimbursable:
• Actual cost of MDAD identification (ID) badges with a customs Seal
• The Custom Border Protection (CBP) Seal /bond.
• Actual cost of fingerprints.
• The AOA driving training.
• The vehicle Decal necessary to drive in AOA.
• Permit Fees
All other costs are not reimbursable and if not specifically mentioned in the pay items listed in the Bid Form shall be considered as incidental to one or more of the pay items, and no claim for additional compensation will be allowed, and it shall be assumed that the cost therefore is included in the prices for the various items in the Contract.
14. The awarded contractor shall be responsible for obtaining all utility clearances and coordinating all utility shutdowns at least 14 working days before initiating any work. Damage to existing equipment, utilities, MDAD or its business partners' property, etc. will be repaired and/or replaced at the contractor's expense. MDAD forms and procedures to obtain utility clearances and/or coordinate shutdowns will be distributed following the mandatory pre-bid conference call.
15. The amount entered in the Total Amount All Trades column shall be the addition of each individual extended amount of each trade (GC inclusive). The cost of each trade mobilization should be included in the Subcontractor markup, Line Item # 2.7: Markup to Coordinate Subordinate Trades. Contractors shall be aware that as per MCC 7360 Plan, the maximum Mark-up allowed for materials and equipment is 15%. The distribution of the mark-up should be agreed between the General Contractor and the Subcontractor.
All labor classification listed in the Bid Form must have a value greater than zero ($0.00). Failure to submit a price for all labor classification shall be considered a non-curable deficiency and shall render the bid “Non-Responsive”.
Furthermore, all other Pay Items listed in the Bid Form (Mobilization & Markup) must also have a value greater than zero; failure to comply with this requirement will not constitute a curable deficiency and shall render the bid “Non-Responsive”.
The Method of Award will be the lowest responsive/responsible bidder base on the total bid amount (Part I + Part II) for all trades including the General Contractor. Recommendation for Award is contingent to availability of proper funding.
16. All requests for information (RFIs) shall comply with the Cone of Silence, Administrative Order 3-27 and shall be directed in writing to the MDAD project manager with a copy to the Clerk of the Board (clerkbcc@miamidade.gov). The deadline to submit RFIs is no later than five (5) working days before the bid opening date and time specified on the RPQ and Invitation to Bid. The MDAD will issue all changes and/or clarifications to the RPQ in writing via an Addendum. Verbal statements made by the County or the Owner’s Representative that are not contained in the RPQ or Addendum are not binding on the County and do not form any basis for a bidder’s response to a RPQ.
