This description of commodities or contractual services intended for purchase from a single source is posted in accordance with section 287.057(3)(c), Florida Statutes and will remain posted for a period of at least 15 business days.

Commodity or Service Required (commodity class and group, manufacturer, model, and description, as appropriate):

30121600: Asphalts; 30121700: Road and railroad construction materials; 30111500: Concrete and mortars;

72141103: Highway and road paving service

Quantity or Term (as appropriate): Two Months

Requestor (division, bureau, office, individual, as appropriate): Melanie Sowers, State Mateials Office

Performance and/or Design Requirements (intended use, function or application, compatibility etc. requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate): The State Materials Office (SMO) has developed a resurfacing plan for the Inertial Profiler Certification Track located at Williston Airport in Williston, Florida. This project is necessary due to the deterioration of the existing pavement surfaces, which consists of an open-graded friction course (FC-5) and a dense-graded friction course (FC-12.5). The current condition of the track has reduced the ability to achieve consistent and repeatable measurements, thereby impacting the reliability of inertial profiler certification.

To restore the integrity of the certification process and ensure compliance with AASHTO R56 requirements for inertial profiler certification, the existing FC-5 and FC-12.5 surfaces will be removed from the Certification Sections, Lead-in Section, and cul-de-sac. The Certification Sections will be resurfaced with both FC-5 and FC-12.5 to maintain continuity with established testing conditions. To improve durability and reduce long-term maintenance needs, the Lead-out Section and cul-de-sac will be resurfaced with FC-12.5. Additionally, the Lead-out Section will be extended to connect with an existing taxiway to enhance operational efficiency and provide a more consistent approach for testing.

Intended source (vendor, contractor): V. E. Whitehurst & Sons, Inc.

Estimated Dollar Amount: $211,700.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate): V.E. Whitehurst & Sons, Inc. is the original contractor for the test track. The asphalt mix designs used are proprietary to V. E. Whitehurst and are not transferable; thereby, ensuring material consistency and preserving the integrity of historical certification baselines.

Approved By: (names & titles, as appropriate to Post on Vendor Bid System (VBS), e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
