Santa Rosa County is soliciting sealed bids for the CR 182 Widening and Resurfacing (LAP) project, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for June 25, 2026, at the Santa Rosa County Engineering Department in Milton, Florida. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the county’s procurement portal by the specified deadline of July 20, 2026, and will be publicly opened via Microsoft Teams. The project, identified under federal funding with FPNs 451781-2-58-01 and 451781-2-58-02 and solicitation number 26-021, falls under NAICS code 237310 for highway and street construction. Work must comply entirely with the Florida Department of Transportation’s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (FY 2026–27 edition), covering scope elements such as clearing and grubbing, cut and fill grading, installation of 6-inch aggregate base, and placement of Superpave asphaltic concrete, with optional items including alternate base materials and elliptical/arch culverts. Bidders are required to submit mandatory certifications and disclosures including FDOT Forms for lobbying, non-collusion, and DBE bid package information, along with a list of proposed subcontractors. No contract value is specified due to missing unit pricing, but bids will be evaluated strictly on responsiveness and lowest price, with alternates considered to determine the overall low bidder. The county mandates E-Verify compliance for all direct and subcontracted hires, requires the prime contractor to perform at least 40% of the work with its own forces, and enforces strict affirmative action obligations including outreach to minority and women-owned businesses and comprehensive recordkeeping for three years post-completion. All work must meet strict FDOT quality standards including asphalt binder content tolerances, sieve pass rates, and roadway density thresholds, with inspections conducted at both production plants and the job site by the Engineer, who holds final acceptance authority. Participation is encouraged from small, minority-, women-, and disadvantaged business enterprises, and the county prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sex, or age. Bids may be rejected at the county’s discretion for documented reasons, and all submissions must be in searchable PDF format through the official portal with no exceptions for late, incomplete, or non-electronic submissions.
