The solicitation, issued on May 3, 2026, with a submission deadline of May 22, 2026, at 11:00 AM, is conducted as an Invitation for Quotes (ITQ) using an electronic procurement portal, where all responses must be submitted digitally and cannot be accepted via paper or other media.

The items must comply with strict technical specifications, including 4,000 psi concrete strength, maximum water/cement ratio of 0.53, and reinforced with Grade 60 rebar and Grade 65 welded wire fabric, adhering to standard detail D-3 and referenced municipal and federal standards such as the Florida Building Code and 23 CFR 635.109. Acceptance occurs at the delivery site, and final approval requires City Council authorization.
