Erosion Control Materials

Pinellas County is soliciting quotes through Invitation to Quote (ITQ) #24-0937-ITQ for erosion control materials to be ordered on an as-needed basis. The procurement seeks a five-year contract for various erosion control products, including erosion control blankets (coconut and straw), concrete cloth composite mats, curb inlet protectors, floc logs, silt stop powder, geotextile nonwoven material, floating turbidity barriers, and silt fencing. Vendors must submit pricing through the OpenGov procurement portal by February 11, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with the county preferring delivery within five business days of order placement. The pricing proposal requires vendors to provide unit pricing for specific materials and allows for percentage discounts off manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) or catalog pricing for additional items. Qualified vendors must be registered with the Florida Division of Corporations and provide current MSRP/catalog price lists. The contract includes provisions for potential annual price index adjustments not exceeding the requested index average, with the county reserving the right to request pricing decreases.

The county has implemented a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program that provides preference to certified small businesses, offering potential award preferences and pricing advantages. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with local and state registration requirements, including being registered with the Florida Division of Corporations. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement allows for flexibility in pricing through MSRP and catalog pricing options. The contract duration is set for 60 months (five years) from the date of award, with potential for annual pricing adjustments. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests an ongoing, as-needed procurement model for erosion control materials. Vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive pricing options, including potential discounts and competitive pricing structures. The county maintains significant discretion in vendor selection and contract administration, with the ability to adjust pricing and terms throughout the contract period.
