The contract enables ODOT and potentially other political subdivisions to procure various aggregate types, including crushed carbonate stone, gravel, ACBF or steel slag, and natural sand. Vendors are required to be certified with an AASHTOWare Project Construction & Materials (AWP) code, with pricing established for three primary components: aggregate materials at plant pickup (cost per ton), freight rates for material delivered to unspecified destinations, and freight rates for material delivered to specified county destinations.

Gerken Materials Inc. is the prime contractor for this IDV, with the contract executed on March 20, 2025, and set to complete on February 28, 2026. The contract covers the state of Ohio and is structured as a competitive selection contract, utilizing a multiple-award approach that allows ODOT to accept responsive bids from multiple aggregate suppliers. The procurement follows the 2023 ODOT Construction and Materials Specifications handbook, with Gerken Materials Inc. providing aggregate materials from multiple plant locations including Paulding Stone, Bluffton Stone, and West Millgrove.
