121026 OR SOLICITATION ADDENDUM ONE NO Q&A.docx

This document is a Solicitation Addendum One for Invitation to Bid (ITB) 121026 OR, issued by the State of Nebraska's State Purchasing Bureau (SPB) on February 7, 2025, concerning a Chip Seal (Ledge Rock) procurement. The solicitation seeks a qualified vendor to provide approximately 9,800 tons of chip seal material for District 3 road maintenance, with three primary delivery locations: Junction Hwy 45/32 (6,500 tons), Junction Hwy 14/56 (2,000 tons), and Junction Hwy 81/20 (1,300 tons). The bid opening is scheduled for February 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time via Webex, with vendors required to submit unit pricing per ton inclusive of transportation and delivery charges. The contract will have an initial one-year term, with potential extensions possible through mutual agreement.

The solicitation allows for performance testing with samples taken in 200-ton increments and requires compliance with Nebraska Department of Transportation Standard Specifications. Pricing must remain firm for 180 days from the award date, with deliveries restricted to 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays. Vendors must provide certified weight tickets for each load and have the option to bid on additional locations across eight districts. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the contract is not exclusive, enabling the state to potentially contract with multiple sources. Pricing can be adjusted with 30 days written notice and supporting documentation, and the estimated 9,800-ton annual usage is not guaranteed as a minimum or maximum quantity.
