Asphalt for Inventory

The City of Tampa Purchasing Department is conducting a Request for Proposals (RFP) for asphalt inventory supplies, specifically seeking two types of asphalt products for its warehouse. The procurement involves 40 bags of Asphalt Black Top Patch (60 AW Black, Matrex Perma Cold Patch) in 60-pound bags and 250 bags of National Paving Perma Patch, with no substitutions permitted. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov solicitation distribution system by January 6, 2026. The contract will be awarded for a one-year period, with the City reserving the right to award by division, line item, or aggregate total. Pricing must include FOB shipping to 2700 Maritime Blvd, Tampa, FL 33605, with all shipping, handling, and freight charges incorporated into the quoted price. The City maintains flexibility in quantity procurement, with the ability to increase or decrease quantities without penalty. Proposals will be evaluated based on compliance with specified product requirements, pricing, and adherence to city procurement guidelines.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are identified in this solicitation. The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the precise product specifications. The City of Tampa will make award determination through a Purchase Order, with payment processed approximately 30 days after receipt and acceptance of materials, correct invoices, and standard processing time. While no incumbent vendor information is provided, the solicitation includes standard city requirements such as compliance with Florida Public Records Law, Ethics Code, and non-discrimination provisions. Vendors must also demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the procurement documents, though the total quantity of 290 bags of asphalt suggests a moderate-scale procurement. The contract includes standard legal protections and administrative provisions typical of municipal purchasing processes.
