FY2026 Pavement Preservation Package 4

Pinellas County is soliciting bids for the FY2026 Pavement Preservation Package 4, an Infrastructure Invitation to Bid for Construction (ITB-C) that encompasses five roadway paving locations totaling approximately 29.54 lane miles, including one arterial and four local neighborhood projects. The procurement is designed to promote traffic safety and efficiency through comprehensive roadway milling and resurfacing. Contractors must be pre-qualified with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in flexible paving work types or provide alternative qualification documentation. The project requires contractors to commence work within 15 consecutive calendar days after receiving a notice to proceed and complete all work within 240 consecutive calendar days. Bidders must submit a comprehensive bid package by June 17, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with questions due by June 13, 2025. Evaluation will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with unit prices to remain firm from contract signing until project completion. The bid requires a 5% bid bond and includes detailed pricing for activities such as mobilization, maintenance of traffic, signage, law enforcement support, inlet protection, asphalt concrete work, milling, and pavement marking.

The contract has a specific Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal of 7% for subcontractors, requiring detailed compliance documentation through the SBE Compliance Form. Potential bidders must complete an extensive qualification submittal process, including providing a bonding letter, project experience details for four similar projects, and at least three reference letters demonstrating comparable project capabilities. While a precise total contract value is not specified, the project's budget documentation indicates significant infrastructure investment, with the Transportation Millage Capital Resurfacing Program serving as the funding mechanism. Contractors must comply with various requirements, including E-Verify system registration, web content accessibility guidelines, and specific provisions related to subcontractor management. No fuel price adjustments will be allowed, meaning contractors must factor potential fuel cost fluctuations into their initial bid pricing. The project will cover multiple road segments across Pinellas County, with a focus on preserving and upgrading local roadway networks through strategic milling and resurfacing techniques.
