The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is seeking qualified contractors for a state-wide contract to provide Hot and Cold Mix Asphalt through RFX 3160007312, with bid submissions accepted electronically via the MAGIC portal or through sealed paper submissions. The procurement covers asphalt mixtures including hot mix variants (ST, MT, HT), polymer-modified mixtures, and cold bituminous mixtures, with specifications requiring contractors to submit detailed mix designs conforming to MDOT's 2017 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. The contract period runs from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, with bids due by April 29, 2025. Contractors must provide comprehensive pricing for various asphalt mixture types, including different gradations ranging from 4.75 mm to 25 mm, with options for crushed gravel, limestone, and slag combinations. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, technical compliance, mixture specifications, transportation rates, and the ability to deliver asphalt mixtures to any point in the state with specified per-mile and minimum haul charges.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documents, the procurement appears to be open to qualified asphalt suppliers capable of meeting MDOT's technical specifications. The contract includes provisions for material price adjustments and requires vendors to comply with equal opportunity employment requirements and E-Verification for new employees. Contractors must demonstrate the capability to provide pre-approved commercial cold bituminous mixtures and meet specific gradation requirements. The contract is subject to legislative funding availability and can be terminated if sufficient funds are not appropriated. Though the exact award value is not specified, the comprehensive pricing schedule and statewide delivery requirements suggest a potentially significant contract value. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in asphalt production, transportation capabilities, and compliance with state procurement regulations to be considered for this opportunity.
