The procurement opportunity seeks a comprehensive range of 26 different landscaping and construction-related materials, including asphalt millings, beach sand, clay, crushed stone, mulch, engineered wood fiber, fill dirt, limerock, and various soil types. Potential vendors must provide materials that meet stringent technical specifications, many of which reference Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) standards, ensuring high-quality and consistent material composition, particle size, purity, and performance characteristics. Interested suppliers must register on the district's OpenGov Procurement portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/PCSB to access bid documents and receive automatic notifications of any addenda. The procurement contact for this solicitation is Christina Dileonardo-Rowan, who can be reached at dileonardoch@pcsb.org, and the district will consider pricing established by the State of Florida Department of Management Services' contracts and negotiated agreement price schedules. The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must comply with comprehensive insurance requirements, including General Liability, Automotive Liability, and Workers' Compensation Insurance, with coverage limits varying based on contract value. Insurance policies must list the School Board of Pinellas County as an "Additional Insured" and must be issued by companies with a Best's Financial Strength Rating of "A-V" or better. Vendors must provide insurance certificates within ten working days of contract award and must submit a bid protest bond ranging from $500 to $5,000 if contesting the bidding process. While specific contract values are not detailed in the documentation, the extensive material specifications suggest this is a significant procurement intended to support ongoing landscaping and construction projects across the Pinellas County School District's facilities.
