1.5" Crusher Run Rock and Optional Rock Aggregate Materials

The State of Nebraska, specifically the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Materiel Division, State Purchasing Bureau (SPB), is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a commodity contract to procure rock aggregate materials for the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT). The primary procurement is for 1.5" Crusher Run Rock, with optional additional materials including 3/8" Washed Rock, 1" Crusher Run Rock, and Crushed Rock for Surfacing Aggregate. The estimated annual usage is 16,500 tons, with specific delivery requirements to multiple NDOT maintenance yards and roadside mix sites across districts, including locations in Greenwood, Superior Street, Wahoo, and David City. Deliveries must be completed within 14-21 business days after order receipt, between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays. Vendors must provide certified weight tickets for each load and quote unit prices per ton, inclusive of all transportation costs, with pricing to remain firm for 180 days from the award date. The bid opening is scheduled for February 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with electronic submissions required through ShareFile.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations mentioned in the documentation. The contract will have an initial term of one year from execution, with potential extension options. The total potential contract value is not explicitly stated, but can be estimated based on the 16,500 tons of annual rock aggregate requirements. Pricing will be determined on a per-ton basis, with vendors required to provide FOB destination pricing that includes all associated costs and meet NDOT specifications. The State reserves the right to reject any bids and is not obligated to a minimum order quantity. Importantly, the contract is not exclusive, meaning the State can contract with multiple sources if deemed necessary. Vendors can propose price increases with 30 days written notice and supporting documentation, though the State retains the right to reject such increases and terminate the contract if it determines the new pricing is not in the State's best interest.
