BDC20-25-26 Bid Results and Anticipated Award

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection awarded the contract for road repair work at Oleta River State Park under solicitation BDC20-25/26 to General Asphalt Co. LLC for a base bid of $698,900, following a competitive bidding process opened on April 15, 2026, at 3:30 PM Eastern Time. Three other vendors submitted bids—Weekley Asphalt Paving, Inc. at $822,470, R&D Paving at $912,000, and Florida Blacktop Inc. at $1,361,047.93—but only timely submissions were considered, and all additional terms proposed by bidders were rejected in favor of standard state and departmental conditions. The procurement was conducted under a Firm-Fixed-Price structure, with the award based on lowest responsive bid, though no specific evaluation factors, technical criteria, or scoring methodology were disclosed. Work is to be performed entirely at Oleta River State Park in Florida, with acceptance of deliverables governed by the Department’s terms and no externally referenced standards such as FDOT or ASTM specified. No detailed statement of work, line-item pricing, packaging requirements, or payment instructions were included in the available documentation, and while the posting period for results ran from April 23 to April 28, 2026, the contract performance period, start and end dates, and invoicing procedures remain undefined. The contracting officer’s representative and technical oversight personnel were not formally designated in the records, although Laurinda Micheels and Logan Lee-Marple are associated with the bid opening and administrative oversight. Neither socioeconomic certifications from bidders nor unique entity identifiers were provided, and no attachments, special requirements, or FAR clauses were listed in the submitted materials, indicating reliance on standard state contractual terms without supplemental provisions.
