The contract term is for one year, from May 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025. The requested materials include Rio Rap, Rip Rap, Surge Stone, Graded Aggregate Base, and different sizes of crushed stone, all of which must meet the State of Georgia Department of Transportation requirements. Bidders are required to provide firm pricing and availability, including any additional costs, delivery charges, and lead times. The bid responses must be submitted electronically via the Douglas County BidNet online platform by March 29, 2024, at 10:00 AM EST. Douglas County reserves the right to increase or decrease the quantity as necessary at the same prices and terms, and the county has a local preference policy that may be applied, allowing a local firm to be awarded the bid even if not the lowest bidder, if the lowest bid is within 3% of the local company's bid amount.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and the county indicates that it intends to obtain the materials from the plant nearest to the work sites within Douglas County. Bidders are also requested to specify if they can offer pricing under any existing Georgia Statewide Contract or Federal Supply Contracts. The bid opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the county has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The overall budget range for this contract is not provided in the available documentation.
