Stabilized Shell Material

Brevard County is soliciting bids for a countywide procurement of stabilized shell material through Bid Number B-2-25-35, seeking to establish a five-year contract for various county projects. The procurement aims to secure up to 10,000 cubic yards and 10,000 tons of stabilized shell material, with vendors required to provide FDOT scale certification and meet comprehensive documentation requirements. Bidders must comply with Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) specifications, ensuring all materials are produced in the United States. The bid evaluation will consider factors including pit location, hauling costs, and delivery time, with the county intending to select the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s). Key deadlines included a question submission deadline of February 18, 2025, with the bid opening scheduled for March 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating general liability coverage of $1,000,000 combined single limit, auto liability, and workers' compensation coverage. Vendors must also provide various attestation forms regarding foreign influence and scrutinized companies.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Two vendors were identified in the bid process: Green Dream International LLC from Erie, PA, and Central Florida Sand and Shell LLC from Oak Hill, FL. The contract was ultimately awarded to both vendors, with Green Dream International LLC selected as the primary vendor at $8.70 per ton and Central Florida Sand and Shell LLC as the secondary vendor at $12.75 per ton. The contract is effective from March 24, 2025, to March 23, 2030, with potential renewal options for four additional one-year periods. The procurement includes FEMA contract provisions, indicating potential federal funding involvement and requiring strict compliance with federal regulations, including anti-lobbying provisions and domestic preference requirements. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly stated, the volume of material (10,000 cubic yards and 10,000 tons) suggests a significant procurement opportunity with potential for substantial contract value over the five-year term.
