About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document from the Florida Department of Transportation's Procurement Office regarding Bid No. DOT-ITB-25-9038-SJ for Aluminum Materials (Rebid). The solicitation is for round aluminum extrusions, with specific requirements for single-piece lengths up to 34 feet. The bid opening is scheduled for Wednesday, January 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST.
Key clarifications in the document indicate that this is a rebid due to the previous contractor being removed from the current contract. The material specifications explicitly require single-piece round aluminum extrusions, with no welding permitted to achieve the required lengths (such as the 34-foot specification mentioned in item 208-001). The document emphasizes that standard 20-foot tubing sections cannot be welded together to form longer pieces, and all extrusions must be manufactured as continuous single pieces to the specified lengths.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PROVIDED BELOW
Question 1 Why was this purchase rebid and not awarded the first time?
Answer 1 They were awarded the first time for the current contract and later had to be removed.
They are items that are needed by our Aluminum Shop so we are having to rebid.
Question 2 The bid request list on page 3 appears to be for standard round aluminum tubes. The profile drawing on page 5 indicates that the request maybe for extruded aluminum lengths. Please clarify if the request is for round tubing.
Answer 2 The contract calls for Round Aluminum Extrusions because of the lengths.
Question 3
Also, tubing is manufactured in 20’ long sections - please clarify if the lengths requested will be needed in single sections. For example, second line item: 208-001 .125" x 2.5" x 34’, is the request here for a 34’ long tube (or extrusion) in one piece?
This would require welding a 20’ section to a 14’ section to achieve the 34’ length. Or would these be bid as 2 individual 20’ and 14’ lengths for each 34’ tube request?
Answer 3 Yes, it is required that we get one single 34’ extrusion. Tubing may NOT be welded to form one full length of 34’.
