1120 agg. #@8, recycled /virgin

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, specifically Beaver County Maintenance (11-2), is seeking a procurement opportunity for approximately 13,000 tons of No. 8 aggregate material with an SRL-H rating, requiring 100% passage through a 1/2" screen. This procurement is primarily focused on aggregate material delivery to designated Department stockpiles within Beaver County between May 15, 2017, and June 30, 2017, with an anticipated daily delivery rate of 300-500 tons. The contract includes a unique reciprocal arrangement where the awarded vendor will receive an estimated 28,000 tons of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) millings, which will be delivered to the vendor's location closest to the current job site. Vendors must provide certified weigh slips daily, documenting the No. 8 aggregate delivered, the quantity of recycled stone, and the amount of millings returned. The procurement's key objectives include obtaining high-quality aggregate material for transportation infrastructure maintenance, with the Department reserving the right to modify stockpile delivery locations. The initial proposal submission deadline was March 22, 2017, with all material specifications detailed in the attached document "NO 8 Specification Milling 2017 Final.docx".

While the procurement documentation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, the contract appears to be open to qualified aggregate suppliers capable of meeting the technical specifications. The estimated contract value encompasses approximately 13,000 tons of No. 8 aggregate and the reciprocal transfer of 28,000 tons of RAP millings, suggesting a potentially significant operational opportunity for aggregate and construction material suppliers. No incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, and the documentation does not outline specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The procurement is geographically limited to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, which may naturally restrict the pool of potential respondents based on proximity and logistical capabilities. The Department of Transportation has structured this procurement to provide flexibility, as evidenced by their reserve rights to modify delivery locations and quantities, indicating a pragmatic approach to meeting infrastructure maintenance needs.
