Volusia County, Florida is seeking competitive sealed bids through Invitation to Bid (ITB) #25-B-167JS for a Master Agreement to furnish and deliver masonry, concrete, and related products for the County's Road and Bridge Division.

Bidders must provide comprehensive pricing for all listed items and offer a percentage discount for additional unlisted inventory items. The solicitation requires electronic bid submission through the County's eProcurement Portal by October 30, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with an initial three-year contract term and potential for two one-year renewals. Evaluation criteria will focus on total cost, technical specifications, and identifying the lowest responsive and responsible bid representing the best overall value. Bidders must submit a comprehensive pricing sheet and comply with detailed insurance requirements, including specific coverage limits for Workers' Compensation, General Liability, and Auto Liability.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though local preference considerations are noted in the solicitation documents. Contractors must complete a Prime/Subcontractor Form detailing all proposed subcontractors, their scope of work, and dollar values, with prime contractors responsible for ensuring subcontractors hold appropriate licenses. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a significant procurement opportunity for masonry and concrete products. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating that insurers be licensed in Florida with a minimum A.M. Best rating of A- and Financial category size of VIII. Contractors must provide certificates of insurance, name Volusia County as an additional insured, and maintain policies with specific endorsements including waiver of subrogation. The county reserves the right to terminate the agreement without penalty if proof of required insurance is not provided, and the insurance provisions will survive the cancellation or termination of the agreement.
