Seal and Stripe Dolphin Parking Lot at Pier

The City of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County, Florida, is seeking qualified vendors to seal and re-stripe the Dolphin parking lot located on the northside of the Pier property near the Museum of History. The procurement involves a comprehensive parking lot maintenance project that requires sealing the entire 9,710 square foot asphalt surface with two spray coats of PolyPro sealer, with an additional sealant coat applied to 48,301 square feet of drive lanes. Vendors must have a minimum of 5 years of experience in sealing and striping and be registered with the Florida Department of State. The solicitation was released on December 28, 2023, with vendor questions due by January 4, 2024, and proposal submissions required by January 11, 2024, at 3:00 pm. Evaluation criteria will focus on price and meeting minimum qualifications, with the city emphasizing environmentally preferable purchasing practices. The initial contract term is set for 6 months from execution, with potential renewal options available.

Vendors must meet specific insurance requirements, including $1 million in commercial general liability, $1 million in commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation as mandated by Florida law. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the city requires compliance with non-discrimination policies and E-Verify requirements. Vendors must submit responses electronically through the city's online bidding system. The estimated project expenditure is approximately $18,000, though this amount may vary based on final proposal details. The project will utilize Neyra PolyPro, a professional-grade coal tar pavement sealer that provides protection against water, sunlight, oxidation, and chemical damage, ensuring a durable and visually appealing parking lot surface. Vendors should be prepared to provide a comprehensive solution that meets the city's specific maintenance and aesthetic requirements for the Dolphin parking lot.
