The City of Sanford intends to award this contract to Booths Cobblestones, with the notice issued on December 23, 2025.

The award is subject to final approval by the city department and does not constitute a binding agreement until a formal contract and/or purchase order containing terms and conditions acceptable to the City is executed. The City reserves the right to revoke the award at its sole discretion if the successful bidder fails to accept and execute the agreement, and may proceed to award to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder, reject all bids, cancel the solicitation, or re-solicit at a later time. The notice does not provide specific pricing information, funding sources, or contract term details, as these matters remain subject to negotiation and finalization between the City and the apparent successful bidder.
