This document is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to solicit bids from qualified firms to furnish, deliver, and stockpile Grade B Natural Sand on an as-needed basis to various Area Headquarters located in Carroll County, Virginia. The contract is for an initial term with the option to renew. Bidders must provide a firm unit price per short ton, which shall include transportation and delivery to the designated sites. The bid submission deadline is July 1, 2024 at 1:00 PM EDT, with a public bid opening scheduled for 1:30 PM EDT the same day. A pre-bid conference will not be held, and the contract will be awarded on a line-item basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The IFB specifies that it is the goal of the Commonwealth of Virginia that over 42% of its purchases be made from small businesses. Bidders must identify any plans to use DSBSD-certified small businesses as subcontractors and provide relevant details. They must also complete the required Small Business Subcontracting Plan and Subcontractor Approval Request forms as part of their bid submission. No portion of the work can be subcontracted without prior written consent from VDOT, and the successful bidder will remain fully liable and responsible for the work performed by any approved subcontractors. The solicitation does not provide any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors.
