The City of Fort Myers, located in Lee County, Florida, is soliciting bids for a concrete materials and delivery contract through Invitation to Bid (ITB 25-080) for its Public Works Department. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide and deliver 3000 PSI concrete materials meeting FDOT Concrete Class I specifications, with a maximum slump of 4 inches and no fly ash permitted. All concrete must be machine mixed and delivered via front-loading concrete trucks, with materials to be delivered either the same day an order is placed or within 72 hours during business hours (7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.), Monday through Friday. The contract will be in effect for 5 years with no renewal options, and bid responses are due on October 17, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Pricing will involve a markup on concrete per cubic yard, with contractors required to provide the prevailing market base price effective on the delivery date, their specified markup, and any applicable delivery charges. The City reserves the right to source materials from alternate suppliers if the awarded contractor cannot meet delivery timelines, and repeated delivery failures may result in contract termination. The solicitation includes specific provisions for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation, with potential evaluation advantages for local businesses and MBE-certified vendors. There are requirements for contractors to comply with federal regulations, including Build America, Buy America (BABA) provisions mandating that iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials be produced in the United States. Contractors must provide documentation demonstrating compliance with disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) guidelines, with the State of Florida having an overall 10.54% DBE goal. Specific certifications required include non-collusion declarations, debarment compliance, and lobbying activity disclosures. While the exact contract value is not specified, the City of Fort Myers has experienced significant growth, adding $5.0 billion to its tax base over the past five years and seeing a 12% population increase between 2020 and 2022, suggesting potential for substantial concrete material needs. Potential bidders must be prepared to meet comprehensive federal and state regulatory requirements, including detailed documentation and compliance with various procurement regulations.
