NOTICE_OF_CANCELLATION_ITB_2025-12.pdf

This document is a Notice of Cancellation issued by Valencia College in Florida for Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2025-12, concerning the Valencia College Irrigation System Mainline Upgrades project. The notice indicates that three firms submitted bids by the April 24, 2025, 2:00 pm (ET) deadline: Cathcart Construction Company - Florida, LLC from Winter Springs, Sprinkler Solutions of Florida, Inc. from Brandon, and Valencia Construction Group, Inc. from Winter Garden. The College has decided to reject all received bids under section 2.11 "Reserved Rights" due to the bids being above the allotted budget and not being in the best interest or most advantageous to the College.

The cancellation effectively terminates the current procurement process for the irrigation system upgrades across Valencia College's campuses. While the specific reasons for budget exceedance are not detailed, the notice suggests that the submitted bids were significantly higher than the College's anticipated budget, prompting the decision to cancel the solicitation. The document implies that Valencia College may re-evaluate the project scope, funding, or bidding requirements before potentially re-issuing the invitation to bid in the future.
