Options for Parkway and Park Improvements Headline Palm Bay Bid Openings 🌴
City Reviews Proposals for Paramedic Training, Engineering Design, and Electrical Supplies
PALM BAY, FL — Palm Bay is taking steps to enhance its parks, emergency services, and infrastructure. The city recently opened bids for several key projects, which are now under review by the procurement department. The next step in the process is for the Palm Bay City Council to approve the expenditures before moving forward.
Castaway Point and Stern's Point Park Shoreline Improvements 🏞️
Five companies expressed interest in the Castaway Point Park and Stern's Point Park Shoreline Improvements project, but only four submitted official bids. This project focuses on repairing and stabilizing the shoreline along the Indian River Lagoon at these popular parks.
Here's a breakdown of the bids:
C & D Construction Inc. (Cocoa, FL): $1,908,793.00
Custom Built Marine Construction (Fort Pierce, FL): $1,270,541.00
Sea & Shoreline LLC (Winter Garden, FL): $1,846,205.00
Underwater Engineering Services (Fort Pierce, FL): Bid amount not provided.
Shoreline Green Contractors LLC did not include the required bid bond with their submission, so their bid was deemed non-responsive.
The significant difference in bid amounts underscores the importance of a comprehensive evaluation process. The city will carefully assess each bid to ensure they select the most qualified contractor who can deliver the project within budget and to the highest standards.
Paramedic Education and Services 🚑
Ensuring Palm Bay residents have access to top-tier emergency medical services is a top priority for the city. The city only received one bid for paramedic education and services from EMETSEII Institutes. This indicates a potential partnership to train and certify paramedics, bolstering the ranks of skilled first responders in the community.
The city's bid specifications emphasize the need for comprehensive training that aligns with state regulations and national accreditation standards. This commitment to quality guarantees that Palm Bay residents receive exceptional emergency medical care.

Atkins North America Inc. (Orlando, FL)
Bentley Group Inc (Longwood, FL)
Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc (Orlando, FL)
Skylar Consulting Group Inc (West Palm Beach, FL)
This project aims to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance safety along the St. Johns Heritage Parkway. The chosen firm will be tasked with creating detailed design plans encompassing traffic flow optimization, pedestrian safety measures, and environmental considerations. Their expertise will guide the project from conception to completion, ensuring it meets the needs of the community while adhering to the highest engineering standards.
