Technical specifications require compliance with ACI 358, S30.1, ASTM C90, ASTM C1770, ASTM C270, and ASTM D-1893. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible vendor providing the lowest bid, though the County reserves the right to award to multiple vendors or a negotiated agreement that is most advantageous to their interests. Bidders must be registered in SAM.gov and provide a UEI, Cage Code, and FEIN. Mandatory requirements include a performance bond equal to the contract price, adherence to the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wages, and compliance with Buy America standards for infrastructure materials.

Administrative requirements include strict adherence to a Period of Silence policy and certifications regarding a drug-free workplace and the absence of business operations in Cuba, Syria, or scrutinized lists for Sudan and Iran. Payment is contingent upon annual appropriation by the County Commission and will be processed in accordance with the State of Florida Local Government Prompt Payment Act.
