2024 Recycled Asphalt

The state and local contract opportunity is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) #2024-006 for 25,000 tons of recycled asphalt, issued by Elbert County, Colorado, with jurisdictional connections to Garfield County and Manzanola Town. The procurement involves delivering and stockpiling recycled asphalt at two specific locations: the Allison Pit in Matheson and the New Road & Bridge Shop in Kiowa, with potential bidders able to submit proposals for one or both delivery sites. The bid requires detailed pricing information, including price per ton and trucking pricing basis, with 10,000 tons designated for the Kiowa location and 15,000 tons for the Matheson location. The bid submission deadline is Tuesday, February 6, 2024, at 9:00 AM local time, with bid opening scheduled for 9:30 AM, and all material trucking must be completed by December 31, 2024. Bidders are required to submit a signed Bidders Certification form, provide comprehensive pricing details, and explain their value-added services and competitive advantages. The county reserves the right to award the contract to a single firm based on bid comparisons, reference checks, and past experience, and is not necessarily obligated to accept the lowest bid.

The contract will be structured as a Blanket Purchase Agreement, which authorizes but does not obligate the county to purchase a specific quantity of services. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, bidders must comply with non-discrimination policies, ethical standards, and employment eligibility verification requirements. The procurement does not specify incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements for integration. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the total procurement volume of 25,000 tons suggests a significant contract value. Bidders will be evaluated based on their pricing, references, past experience, and ability to meet the county's operational needs. The contract appears to be open to qualified vendors who can demonstrate the capability to deliver recycled asphalt materials efficiently and meet the county's specific logistical requirements by the end of 2024.
