The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it emphasizes local vendor preferences and compliance requirements. Vendors must be enrolled in the E-Verify program, have a current Florida business tax receipt, and provide proof of corporate status. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating coverage types including Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Automobile Liability, with specific coverage limits ranging from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000. Projects exceeding $200,000 will require performance and payment bonds written for 100% of the contract award amount. Historically, County departments have spent approximately $38,730,000 on asphalt maintenance services from 2018 through 2024, though this may not indicate future spending patterns. The contract includes provisions for bituminous price adjustments based on the FDOT Asphalt Price Index and allows for material, equipment, and subcontractor markups within specified percentage limits.
