The South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the procurement of 124 yards of 3000 PSI concrete mixed with pea gravel, specifically designed for pumping at Perry Correctional Institution located in Pelzer, South Carolina. The solicitation was released on February 26, 2020, with a submission deadline of March 10, 2020, at 10:00 AM, and an award notification scheduled for March 13, 2020. Contractors are required to deliver new concrete materials within 30 days of receiving the purchase order, with graduated late delivery penalties ranging from 5% for delays of 1-3 days to 15% for delays of 12-15 days. Pricing must be submitted as a unit price per yard, with the total extended price calculated by multiplying the unit price by the total quantity.

Potential offerors must submit sealed bids either by mail/hand-delivery to the SCDC Purchasing Branch or electronically to purchasing@doc.sc.gov, with the subject line clearly indicating "RFQ540019445".

Vendors may claim South Carolina Resident Vendor Preference, South Carolina end-product preference, or United States end-product preference if they meet the statutory requirements outlined in South Carolina Code Section 11-35-1524. The solicitation does not identify a specific incumbent contractor or impose strict set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Questions regarding the procurement must be submitted to the procurement officer, Brittany Driggers, at least five business days prior to the opening date. While the exact contract value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves 124 yards of concrete, which would suggest a moderate-scale contract. The procurement allows for flexibility in vendor participation, with an emphasis on local and national vendor preferences. Potential bidders should carefully review the complete solicitation documents to ensure compliance with all specified requirements and to understand the full scope of the concrete supply contract.
