The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is issuing Invitation to Bid 456-26 to procure pre-stressed concrete composite box beam members for Project PER-345-06.48, a bridge replacement initiative in Perry County, Ohio. This procurement seeks to establish a contract with an ODOT pre-qualified fabricator to furnish, test, and deliver eight Bridge Structural Pre-Stressed Concrete Composite Box Beam Components (Level 1, CB21-48), each measuring 53 feet-3 inches in length, for use on a State Route 345 bridge superstructure replacement over Buckeye Fork. The project scope includes fabrication of all structural components in compliance with the 2023 ODOT Construction and Materials Specifications Section 515, standard drawings PSBD-1-25 and TST-2-21, and referenced plan sheets. Deliverables must be inclusive of shop drawings, fabrication, performance of non-destructive testing, storage, and freight delivery on an F.O.B. destination basis to ODOT District 5 in Perry County, with pricing guaranteed against increase throughout the contract duration. Bidders must be listed on ODOT's pre-qualified fabricators list at the time of bid opening and must complete TE-24 quality assurance requirements by August 1, 2026. The bid deadline is February 24, 2026, with contract award anticipated within approximately ten business days of bid opening; all completed bridge components must be available for delivery by no later than August 1, 2026, with late delivery penalties of $5,000 per calendar day assessed for delays beyond this critical deadline, as the project requires a route closure from August 1 through October 31, 2026.

Bidders may claim preferences for Domestic Source End Products, Ohio preference (Buy Ohio), or Veteran Friendly Business Enterprise (VBE) certification; however, no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on disadvantaged enterprises are identified in the solicitation documents. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified, as this represents a new procurement for materials to support a to-be-determined Prime Contractor. Contract performance is effective from the Date of Contract Award through August 31, 2026, and all work must comply with federal non-discrimination statutes and drug-free workplace requirements under Ohio Revised Code and standard ODOT terms and conditions. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest grand total price across all bid items. Bidders must submit unit pricing for all required bid items via the provided pricing submission form (456pricing.xlsx) and contact ODOT's Office of Materials Management at 614-275-1351 upon receipt of a purchase order to coordinate quality control, inspection, and testing procedures.
