Aggregate, #8, recyclyed

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, specifically for Lawrence County, is seeking to procure an estimated 6,500 tons of Recycled No. 8 SRL=H Aggregate to be delivered to designated Department stockpile locations. The procurement involves the processing of reclaimed asphalt product (RAP) into specified recycled aggregate, with vendors allowed to blend Type A, No. 8 virgin limestone aggregate to meet the total requirement. Delivery is scheduled between April 15, 2018 and June 30, 2018, with the awarded vendor entitled to approximately 10,000 tons of RAP millings. Vendors must provide certified weigh slips daily and coordinate delivery schedules with the Department's Roadway Programs Technician Supervisor and District Materials Engineer. Material testing and approval are required prior to acceptance, and contact with Department personnel other than the designated Purchasing Agent is strictly prohibited. The bid was posted on March 1, 2018, with a submission deadline of March 19, 2018.

The contract opportunity includes several important compliance requirements that may impact potential bidders. Contractors must adhere to multiple exhibit provisions, including Contractor Integrity Provisions, Green Plan Policy, Nondiscrimination and Sexual Harassment Clauses, and Contractor Responsibility Provisions. The solicitation includes specific requirements for recycled content in construction products, with mandated minimum percentages of post-consumer and recovered materials. Bidders must comply with the Reciprocal Limitations Act Requirements, which outline preferences for in-state products and services. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the contract includes comprehensive requirements for environmental stewardship, workplace non-discrimination, and contractor integrity. The procurement appears to be a fixed-price contract, with the award to be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, potentially with a contract term of one year and the possibility of a 3-month extension.
