About this file

This is Amendment 2 to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation issued by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) for the procurement of aluminum pipe materials. The solicitation seeks 80 linear feet of 60-inch aluminum smooth wall pipe, consisting of four 20-foot sections and three 60-inch connecting bands with 24-inch neoprene gaskets for delivery to Oakmont Drive in Orangeburg, South Carolina. All deliveries must be completed within 30 days of purchase order receipt. The question submission deadline is November 26, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with offers due by December 15, 2025, at 2:30 PM. No pre-bid conference or site visit is required. Award notification is anticipated on December 22, 2025, with the contract term running from December 22, 2025, to June 21, 2026. Offerors must submit one online copy of their offer through http://www.procurement.sc.gov and hold their offer open for a minimum of 30 calendar days after the opening date.

Amendment 2 clarifies a critical specification issue regarding pipe materials. In response to a bidder question, SCDOT confirmed that spiral ribbed aluminum pipe will not be considered an approved equal to the specified smooth wall aluminum pipe, and no Qualified Products List (QPL) exists for smooth wall aluminum pipe. All products must be new, and award will be determined by the lowest responsive and responsible bid based on fixed unit prices for the pipe, connecting bands/gaskets, and freight. Bidders must be registered as South Carolina state vendors and maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 and workers' compensation coverage. Potential vendor preferences include South Carolina Resident Vendor Preference, South Carolina end-product preference, and U.S. end-product preference. Offerors must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
