Evaluation criteria will focus on vendor responsiveness, responsibility, and the ability to meet comprehensive technical specifications, with the county reserving the right to select primary and secondary contractors.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, but does include provisions for local vendor preference for businesses maintaining a physical address in Collier or Lee County. Contractors must be enrolled in the E-Verify program and have a Florida Department of State corporate registration. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and umbrella coverage with specific monetary limits. Historically, the county has spent between $557,139.95 and $1,132,454.17 annually on similar services from fiscal years 2020-2024, suggesting significant potential contract value. Financial thresholds indicate that projects exceeding $200,000 will require performance and payment bonds. Vendors must submit at least five reference forms from similar projects and be prepared to provide detailed documentation. The contract allows for potential usage by other county departments and is designed to accommodate flexible, as-needed roadway maintenance requirements.
