The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) North Central Region is soliciting quotes for a procurement of rock materials, specifically seeking 5,000 tons of Standard Specification 3/8" to No. 4 gradation Chip Rock with at least two fractured faces and 650 tons of No. 4 - 0 Choke material (equivalent to concrete sand). This Request for Quotes (RFQ) targets vendors located within 50 miles of the WSDOT pickup location in Wenatchee, Washington, with a focus on suppliers in Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Kittitas, and Okanogan counties. The RFQ was posted on January 7, 2025, with quotes due by January 20, 2025, at 2:00 pm, and an anticipated award date of January 21, 2025. The contract term will run from February 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, with potential yearly extensions up to two additional years. Vendors must ensure completed crushed material is available to WSDOT no later than April 10, 2025. Material testing requirements include one sample test per 1,000 tons produced, and WSDOT reserves the right to award chip rock and choke material bids separately to encourage small business participation.

The procurement appears designed to promote local and small business engagement, with no specific set-aside designations explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Vendors will need to demonstrate ability to meet material specifications and proximity requirements. While no incumbent vendors are listed, the RFQ indicates flexibility in potential contract quantities, noting that estimated amounts may vary. The procurement does not specify a total contract value, but the material quantities suggest a significant local infrastructure or construction-related need. Vendors will be evaluated on their ability to meet technical specifications, proximity to the pickup location, and capacity to deliver materials within the specified timeframe. The RFQ includes provisions for prompt payment discounts and purchasing card acceptance, though these are not mandatory. Interested suppliers should carefully review the complete RFQ document to understand all technical and logistical requirements for participation in this state and local contracting opportunity.
