The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is soliciting bids for a State Funded Plant Mix Primary project located in Brunswick and Prince George Counties within the Richmond District. The procurement involves comprehensive roadway maintenance and improvement work, specifically including 10,122 tons of asphalt concrete placement, 9,202 gallons of tack coat application, 92,025 square yards of pavement planing, rumble strip installation, and temporary and permanent pavement markings. Contractors must be prequalified with VDOT and submit electronic bids exclusively through Bid Express, with all questions to be submitted via the Contractors Advertisement Bulletin Board (CABB) system. The bid submission deadline is precisely 10:00 AM on December 11, 2024, with a contract completion date set for November 21, 2025. This project requires adherence to Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations and will involve maintenance of traffic throughout the construction period. Bidders must provide comprehensive unit pricing for each specified bid item and demonstrate technical capability to execute the full scope of roadway rehabilitation work.

The procurement includes Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation requirements, though the specific goal percentage is not explicitly stated in the available documentation. Contractors will be subject to provisions for fuel and asphalt material price adjustments, reflecting potential market fluctuations. The contract incorporates wage rates for multiple labor classifications, with specific provisions aligned with Executive Orders 14026 and 13658 regarding minimum wages for federal contractors. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the project will require integration with existing county transportation infrastructure in Brunswick and Prince George Counties. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation likely based on technical compliance, pricing, DBE participation, and demonstrated capacity to complete the project within the specified timeframe. Although the exact contract value is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the roadway maintenance work suggests a significant investment in regional transportation infrastructure improvement.
