Williston Profiler Certification Test Track Resurface

The Florida Department of Transportation is awarding a single-source contract to V. E. Whitehurst & Sons, Inc. for the resurfacing of the Inertial Profiler Certification Test Track at Williston Airport in Levy County, Florida. The project, identified under solicitation DOT-SS-26-9074-SJ PUR 7778, involves removing deteriorated sections of proprietary asphalt mixes FC-5 and FC-12.5 from the Certification, Lead-in, Lead-out, and cul-de-sac areas, then reinstalling them with the same proprietary materials to maintain historical testing consistency and compliance with AASHTO R56 standards. The award is non-competitive due to the unique, non-transferable nature of the asphalt mix designs developed and used exclusively by V. E. Whitehurst & Sons, Inc., which are essential to preserving the integrity of the certification track's long-term performance data. The total contract value is set at $211,669.50, with no itemized line items, options, or contingencies outlined. The place of performance is specifically the Williston Airport, and all inspection and acceptance activities will occur on-site by the Florida Department of Transportation. While the solicitation does not include formal evaluation factors, pricing breakdowns, or federal acquisition regulation clauses, it relies on state-level procurement rules and statutory authority under Florida Statutes §287.057(3)(c) to justify the sole-source selection. There are no specified packaging, marking, preservation, or invoicing requirements beyond standard handling practices for asphalt materials, and no federal accounting codes, payment office details, or designated contracting officer or technical representative are named, with inquiries directed to Sherill Johnson at the state’s purchasing office. The proposal must be submitted electronically through the Vendor Bid System by the deadline of May 4, 2026, following the posting date of April 29, 2026. The NAICS code 30111500 is cited for the work, but no socioeconomic certifications, unique entity identifiers, or offeror representations are required or included in the solicitation.
