The City encourages participation by Jacksonville Small and Emerging Businesses (JSEBs) under its Equal Business Opportunity Program (Part 6 of Chapter 126, Jacksonville Ordinance Code), but the source describes this as encouragement, not a set-aside.

Bidders must quote full quantities on each line. Delivery is to 355 Ellis Road South, Jacksonville, Florida 32254, with freight prepaid on FOB Destination terms. Unit prices must include freight, delivery, and handling, and prompt payment discounts under thirty days will not be considered in determining the low bid.

This is a one-time purchase awarded all-or-none to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, contingent on fund availability. The successful bidder must furnish a one-year unconditional guarantee on materials and workmanship and maintain specified insurance, including general liability and workers' compensation. Bidders must comply with E-Verify requirements and hold applicable local, state, and federal licenses. Responses must be submitted electronically through the City's 1Cloud e-procurement system, with supporting documents labeled by supplier and file contents. Revisions are permitted until the closing deadline. The solicitation opened November 3, 2026 at 10:38 a.m., and the notice was posted the same day.
