FY 2025 - Pavement Preservation - Package 4

Pinellas County is seeking bids for the Fiscal Year 2025 Pavement Preservation Package 4, a comprehensive roadway improvement project involving approximately 34.98 lane miles across four paving locations, including two arterial roads and two local neighborhood projects. The Invitation to Bid for Construction (ITB-C) was released on July 7, 2025, with a question submission deadline of July 11, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of July 17, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Contractors must submit responses electronically via OpenGov and complete the project within 210 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must be either pre-qualified with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in Flexible Paving or submit detailed qualification documents. The project requires specific technical capabilities, including milling existing asphalt pavement, resurfacing with Type SP 12.5 Structural Course, and implementing comprehensive road reconstruction activities. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with Pinellas County reserving the right to add or delete locations and award items individually or in aggregate.

The procurement encourages Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation, with a 7% goal for subcontractor involvement. Contractors must provide a range of insurance coverages, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Pollution Legal/Environmental Liability insurance. The project requires extensive documentation, including a bonding letter, qualification documents, and references, with strict compliance requirements such as E-Verify certification and adherence to Florida Statutes. While specific incumbent vendors are not mentioned, the project includes provisions for detailed background checks and security protocols, particularly for work near airport areas. The engineer's estimated construction cost is $6,300,000.00, with liquidated damages calculated at $1,434.66 per day of delay. Contractors will be subject to performance and payment bonds, and must demonstrate experience in similar roadway preservation and infrastructure maintenance projects, with the county independently verifying references and qualifications.
