Pine Supply, Delivery, and Installation Services

The City of Milton, Florida is requesting sealed bids for supply, delivery, and installation of pine straw and related ground cover materials at city-owned and city-maintained properties, public rights-of-way, highway corridors, medians, and easements on an as-needed basis under ITB 2026.04, with bids due May 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST. The city encourages local-vendor participation and may consider a local-vendor preference for bidders maintaining a physical business location within Milton's corporate limits.

Bidders must submit unit prices for two line items: Line Item 1 (Furnished and Delivered) and Line Item 2 (Furnished, Delivered, and Installed). Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on Line Item 2 pricing. All pricing must be all-inclusive of labor, materials, equipment, overhead, and profit. No quantities are guaranteed; work is performed on an as-needed basis through individual work authorizations issued by the city's designated representative.

Minimum qualifications include legal authorization to conduct business in Florida, required licenses, three references for comparable work within the past five years, capability to obtain required insurance, and statutory eligibility under Florida law. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence and aggregate), Automobile Liability ($1 million combined single limits per accident), and Workers' Compensation in compliance with Florida Statutes. Bidders must submit certifications addressing anti-human trafficking compliance, nondiscrimination, conflict-of-interest, drug-free workplace, E-Verify compliance, non-collusion, prompt payment, public entity crimes, and scrutinized companies.

The resulting contract carries an initial one-year term with options for up to three additional one-year renewal terms, for a maximum total duration of four years. Questions are due May 13, 2026, with answers posted by May 18, 2026. No pre-bid conference is scheduled.
