EZ Street Asphalt Products

The state and local contract opportunity involves the procurement of EZ Street Asphalt Products for Orange County, Florida, specifically through the City of Winter Park's procurement process. The procurement is being conducted as a single source procurement for a specialized cold asphalt product delivered in batch quantities, which distinguishes it from traditional asphalt products. Duval Asphalt Products, Inc. is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of EZ Street Cold Asphalt for Florida and Georgia, holding an exclusive licensing agreement with the EZ Street Company. The procurement process follows Florida Statute 287.057, which requires a 15-business day public posting to allow potential respondents to submit alternative product information or challenge the single-source designation. Prospective respondents may submit statements of qualifications and capabilities, with the opportunity to notify the Procurement Division in writing about potential competitive restrictions no later than five business days prior to the proposal due date. The posted opportunity was initially listed on January 9, 2026, with a due date of November 24, 2025, creating an unusual timeline that suggests potential administrative error.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. The estimated fiscal year 2026 spending for this procurement is $50,000, representing a moderate-scale contract for asphalt products. Duval Asphalt Products, Inc., located at 7544 Philips Highway in Jacksonville, Florida, is the sole authorized vendor for this procurement, with Corey Key identified as the primary sales representative contactable at (904) 568-5657. The City of Winter Park has explicitly stated that this procurement will not obligate them to the vendor for future purchases and that no maintenance exclusivity or compatibility issues exist for subsequent acquisitions. Market research conducted by the city determined that batch production and delivery of the product is uniquely provided by this single source in Florida, with alternative products deemed unacceptable for their specific requirements. The procurement documentation emphasizes the specialized nature of the EZ Street Asphalt Products and the vendor's exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights in the region.
