801G-26 Asphalt Concrete, Bituminous Mixes, Equipment Rental, and Material Hauling

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking bids for Invitation 801G-26, a term contract for Asphalt Concrete, Bituminous Mixes, Labor Rates, Material Hauling, and Equipment Rental, specifically targeting Clark County and other jurisdictions across Ohio. The procurement seeks to establish a contract for asphalt-related services and materials, with all goods and services to be provided in accordance with the current ODOT Construction & Material Specification Book. Deliverables include various bituminous mixes, labor services, material transportation, and equipment rental, with detailed specifications for material testing, quality control, and environmental compliance. The contract will run from the date of execution through February 28, 2026, with bidders required to submit electronic responses through OhioBuys before the February 26, 2025 deadline. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, compliance with specifications, and pricing, with plants required to maintain valid AWP Codes at bid closing.

This procurement is exclusively set aside for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) bidders certified by the State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services' Equal Opportunity Division, meaning only certified MBE firms can submit bids. ODOT will accept and potentially award contracts to all responsive State of Ohio MBE-certified bidders under O.R.C. 5513.02. Contractors must affirm that all services will be performed within the United States and comply with Executive Order 2022-02D, which prohibits engaging with Russian companies. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contract covering multiple asphalt plants and services across Ohio suggests significant potential contract value. The opportunity includes provisions for blanket purchase orders and pre-authorized funding, with contractors required to provide detailed location and service performance disclosures as part of their bid package.
