Babcock ranch preserve road work

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking competitive pricing for Babcock Ranch Preserve road work in Charlotte County, Florida. The procurement is for the supply, delivery, spreading, and grading of DOT-certified shell road base material (Code B02 - Bank Run Shell Base) along approximately 1.8 miles of road within the Babcock Ranch Preserve. The project requires approximately 266 truckloads or 5,850 tons of material to be spread and graded to a minimum depth of 6 inches and a width of 14-18 feet, with at least a 4-inch center crown. Bids are due by January 31, 2023 at 10:30 AM ET, with a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit scheduled for January 12, 2023. FWC plans to award the contract by February 2, 2023, with the work to be completed by June 30, 2023. The contractor must be registered in MyFloridaMarketPlace and with the State of Florida's SunBiz system prior to the bid opening.

The solicitation encourages participation by certified minority-owned, woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran business enterprises. It does not allow for any substitutions to the specified DOT certified shell road base material. The contractor is responsible for spreading and grading the material but is not required to grade the existing road prior to placement. FWC has an estimated budget of $222,945.10 for this project and will award the contract to the responsive, responsible bidder submitting the lowest bid price.
