The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) 101G-26 for a term contract covering asphalt concrete, bituminous mixes, equipment rental, and material hauling, specifically targeting Clark County and other jurisdictions within Ohio. The procurement seeks to establish a comprehensive contract for supplying various asphalt-related materials and services, with all deliverables required to comply with the current ODOT Construction & Material Specification Book. Key objectives include providing unit bid pricing for multiple plant locations, with each location necessitating a separate Excel pricing file submission and a valid AWP Code at bid closing. Bidders must submit precise job mix formulas (JMF) for type 301 materials, with the District Testing Engineer providing specifications, and contractors responsible for type 448 items. Quality control requirements are stringent, particularly for orders exceeding 3,000 tons, with specific sampling and testing protocols. The contract will run from the date of execution through February 28, 2026, with bids due by February 26, 2025, and ODOT planning to accept all responsive bids in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 5513.02.

The solicitation does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears open to qualified asphalt producers and transportation service providers, with the pricing document indicating approximately 150 approved asphalt production facilities across Ohio and neighboring states. Major operators potentially eligible include Shelly Materials, Barrett Paving, Gerken Materials, Kokosing Materials, Valley Asphalt, and Mar-Zane. While specific award values are not directly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contract covering multiple districts and extensive geographical areas suggests a significant potential contract value. The documents indicate complex pricing mechanisms, including detailed provisions for price adjustments related to material quality, with specific formulas for deductions based on bitumen content and other technical parameters. Integration requirements are focused on adherence to ODOT specifications, with emphasis on precise technical compliance, quality control, and environmental standards for asphalt production and transportation services.
