Resurfacing, Resealing, Restriping

Pinellas County School District is seeking a qualified paving or general contractor for a comprehensive resurfacing, resealing, and restriping services contract spanning county-wide facilities. The procurement opportunity (ITB #25-CD-051) requires a contractor to provide complete labor, materials, equipment, and supervision for asphalt-related improvements, including resurfacing existing asphalt, sealing or resealing areas, striping or restriping surfaces, and demolition and repair of existing areas. Key requirements include five years of continuous business operation, submission of comprehensive documentation, and compliance with state regulations such as E-Verify and background screening. The contract will run from June 24, 2025, to June 24, 2026, with potential two-year renewal options. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 6, 2025, at 9:00 am, with electronic bid submissions due by 3:00 pm on May 19, 2025, through the district's OpenGov Procurement portal. Evaluation criteria will include previous district work experience, customer references, local business location, unit fee schedules, work scenario calculations, and hourly rates.

The procurement allows for up to two contractors to be selected within a 70-mile radius of the Pinellas County School District Office, with an estimated contract value of approximately $700,000, excluding renewal options. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Price escalation is permitted during renewal periods, tied to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), with increases limited to the previous year's percentage change. Contractors must provide substantial insurance coverage, including general liability insurance with minimums ranging from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 depending on project value, automotive liability coverage, and workers' compensation insurance. Subcontracting is strictly prohibited without prior written authorization from the Maintenance Department, and the successful bidder will be responsible for all work performance, with the district assuming no liability for subcontractor arrangements. Successful bidders must also comply with State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF) and Florida Building Code standards for construction and renovation of public educational facilities.
