Annual Supply and Delivery of Concrete

The City of Lakeland is seeking a firm-priced annual service for the supply and delivery of 3000 psi blend mix, class 1 2500 NS, and excavatable flow-fill concrete. These materials are intended for use by the Public Works Construction and Maintenance Division and other city departments, with an estimated annual requirement of 1,000 cubic yards, though this quantity is for bidding purposes and is not guaranteed. All materials must comply with the 2025 edition of the Florida Department of Transportation standard specifications for road and bridge construction, specifically sections 344, 346, and 347. The contract remains firm and valid through September 30, 2027, with the possibility of four one-year renewals upon mutual consent. Bidders must submit responses electronically via the OpenGov portal by September 25, 2026, at 3:30 pm. Requirements for submission include a bid bond or certified check for at least five percent of the bid price, a list of three similar projects completed within the last three years, and various certifications regarding drug-free workplaces, non-collusion, and human trafficking. The successful bidder must provide a public construction bond per Florida Statutes within ten days of the award. Award decisions will be based on the best interest of the City, considering factors such as experience, qualifications, and technical evaluation. Contractors are also subject to strict safety compliance under OSHA standards and must execute comprehensive indemnification agreements to hold the City and State of Florida harmless from liabilities.
