Cancellation Notice

This Cancellation Notice pertains to the Georgia Department of Transportation's (GDOT) Open Agency Enterprise Contract solicitation for Hydraulic Mulch and related erosion control items. The original solicitation established an indefinite-quantity, indefinite-delivery contract with no minimum or maximum purchase requirements for hydraulic mulch products that must be supplied from manufacturers listed on GDOT's Qualified Product List (QPL) #25 Fiber Mulch and #62 Organic & Synthetic Material Fiber Blankets. All products were required to conform to DOT Standard Specifications Section 718 (Wood Fiber) and Section 713 (Organic and Synthetic Material Fiber Blankets), with manufacturers needing to submit product samples to the GDOT Office of Material and Research by the specified closing date for testing and qualification. The contract would have included a discount off the supplier's current published price list and catalog for landscape products.

The cancellation of this solicitation eliminates the competitive bidding process that was intended to establish pricing terms and qualified vendor relationships for hydraulic mulch procurement across Georgia state agencies. Vendors who had prepared submissions and arranged product sample deliveries to GDOT's Forest Park facility are no longer required to participate in this procurement process.
