22a, Zone 4 and 5A Gravel for DNR WLD St. Charles

The State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for gravel delivery to the St. Charles facility (Ott Farm Facility located at 10995 East Prior Road, St. Charles, Michigan). This is a one-time purchase procurement for three types of limestone and rip rap materials required for dike top construction and maintenance, specifically 700 tons of 22A crushed limestone, 700 tons of Zone 4 crushed limestone (a mixture equivalent to 50% MDOT 4AA and 50% MDOT 23A with fines), and 200 tons of 5A rip rap. Bidders must submit pricing on a per-yard basis for each material type with delivery costs included on an F.O.B. destination basis to the St. Charles facility, and vendors should indicate any quick payment discount options available. The RFQ deadline is Friday, May 4, 2018, at 3:00 p.m., with questions due by Friday, April 27, 2018, at 3:00 p.m. to the sole point of contact, Lisa Crozier-Green at CrozierGreenL@michigan.gov, with answers posted on www.buy4michigan.com by 5:00 p.m. that same day. Vendors must submit the completed RFQ form with their proposal in SIGMA VSS with line item pricing entered in the designated tab, as failure to do so may result in proposal disqualification. The State reserves the right to use the lower of two quoted amounts in the event of discrepancies between the RFQ form and SIGMA VSS entries. Standard evaluation criteria include timely and professional delivery consistent with industry standards, with no material defects, and contractors must maintain sufficient financial resources to ensure contract completion.

The RFQ documentation does not identify any specific set-asides or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it designate restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises; however, if the contract is funded in whole or in part with federal funds, contractors must comply with federal provisions including the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act standards (for contracts exceeding $150,000), verification that they are not listed on the System for Award Management (SAM) exclusions list, and Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment certifications (for contracts exceeding $100,000). No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. Contractors must comply with Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act nondiscrimination requirements and are subject to standard State of Michigan contract terms for one-time purchases, including a net 45-day payment term from DNR acceptance unless an accelerated payment discount is offered, a seven-year record retention requirement, and indemnification obligations. The RFQ documents do not specify an overall budget or award value range for this procurement.
