About this file
This is a specification document prepared by the City of Minneapolis Department of Public Works for the procurement of concrete reinforcing steel and other materials. The City seeks a supplier to furnish and deliver reinforcing steel and related materials in accordance with Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) specifications and guidelines, with all items sourced from the MnDOT approved materials list. Materials will be delivered to the Minneapolis Central Stores, Linden Yard, or specified project locations as required, with deliveries expected in partial orders rather than full orders. Most items must be delivered within 24 hours of request, with the exception of 4-bend keyway and 12-foot dowel baskets, which require delivery within 14 calendar days. The City will award the contract to a single supplier based on the overall lowest bid, with all suppliers required to complete all bid lines or face rejection as non-responsive. The initial contract term runs from January 1, 2027 through January 1, 2028, with the option for two additional 12-month renewal periods if both parties agree.
Pricing shall remain firm during the initial contract period, after which escalation may be permitted for contract extensions based on documented industry-wide, regional, or operational cost increases submitted 60 days prior to contract year end, not to exceed the Consumer Price Index or five percent, whichever is higher. Quantities specified are estimates and may vary during the contract period; the City reserves the right to adjust quantities up to 100 percent with no price adjustments. The contract is non-exclusive, and the City reserves the right to engage other contractors for similar work. Contractors must provide reasonable notice for unloading of materials and accept a $200 per hour deduction for unloading delays; unloading is considered incidental work with no additional compensation. Bar lengths under 20 feet will be cut at no additional cost with epoxy coating applied to cut ends. Invoices must be submitted electronically in PDF or compatible formats following delivery and City acceptance, with payment rendered within 30 days of receipt unless items are questioned.

7. The City of Minneapolis will award all items relating to this bid to only one supplier.

The bid award will be based on the https://www.dot.state.mn.us/products/concrete/index.html overall lowest bid. All suppliers must fill in all lines or their bid will be considered nonresponsive.
8. Quantities may be increased or decreased by up to 100% with no price adjustments.

The City reserved the right to extend this contract for two (2) additional 12-month periods if agreeable to both parties.
Price Escalation Prices shall be firm for the initial contract period.

The exact amount of escalation, if any, will be governed by the validity of the documentary evidence submitted. No price increase will be effective until approved by the City of Minneapolis Procurement Office. With the exception of extraordinary circumstances, the amount of any increase shall not exceed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or five (5) percent, whichever is higher.

Rights of the City The City reserves the right to reject all or any part of any bid, waive informalities, and award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible contractors to best serve the interest of the City. Informality shall mean a minor defect or variation of a bid from the exact requirements of the Request for Bid which does not affect the price, quality, quantity, or delivery schedule for the goods, services or construction being procured.
