The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Purchasing Department, issued Request for Quotation #950711 for the supply and delivery of crushed shell-rock material meeting FDOT specifications (not exceeding 1 inch diameter with a minimum 100 LBR Load Bearing Ratio). The procurement consists of two items: Item 1 requires delivery of 4,000 tons over an estimated 12-month period with F.O.B. destination and delivery within three calendar days of receiving a term contract delivery order, and Item 2 requires 1,000 tons available for County pickup at the vendor's location with F.O.B. point at the quoter's plant or business. The solicitation required firm, fixed unit pricing per ton with no escalation clauses, and all transportation, shipping, freight charges, surcharges, handling fees, labor, equipment, and materials must be included in the quoted price. A minimum of 20 tons per order applies to Item 1, though the County accepts no overall minimum order requirements. Award will be made on an item-by-item basis to the lowest responsive and responsible quoter, with the successful vendor receiving an initial 12-month contract with options to renew for four additional 12-month periods subject to mutual written agreement and Board appropriation of funds. The RFQ submission deadline was January 12, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. Palm Beach County Local Time, with responses accepted via fax or email. Payment is contingent upon County satisfaction and acceptance of delivered items, with invoices submitted to the Palm Beach County Finance Department.

A 5% local preference may apply to quoters with a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades, contingent upon submission of a valid Business Tax Receipt and completed Certification of Business Location. Small, Minority, and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (S/M/WBE) vendors within 10% of the lowest responsive and responsible quote may receive preference if certified at the time of quote submission. All vendors and subcontractors must register in the County's Vendor Self Service (VSS) system prior to contract finalization. The contract documents included a signed Amendment 1 posted on January 5, 2023, which modified terms of the original agreement, potentially adjusting pricing structures, delivery schedules, material specifications, or other contractual provisions from the initial solicitation. No specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the available solicitation materials. The opportunity represents a renewable contract for ongoing procurement of crushed shell-rock material with flexible delivery and pickup options tailored to Palm Beach County's infrastructure or construction needs.
