Aggregate for Surface Treatment (2024 REBID) - CTH E, CTH M (MM-PB), CTH M (Stony-Valley) and CTH S

Dane County, Wisconsin is seeking bids for aggregate materials for surface treatment on multiple county highways, specifically County Highway E, County Highway M (from MM to PB), County Highway M (Stony Ridge Circle to Valley View Road), and County Highway S. The procurement is a Request for Bid (RFB) soliciting proposals for quartzite/granite chips and pea gravel, with two distinct delivery options: Option A requires suppliers to deliver materials to specified county salt sheds and storage locations, while Option B allows materials to be picked up from the supplier's stockpile. The bid was released on March 19, 2024, with vendor questions due by April 4, 2024, and bid responses required by April 11, 2024, at 2:00 pm. Bidders must provide unit costs per ton of material, with total quantities ranging from 884 to 1,380 tons depending on the highway segment and location. Material specifications are stringent, requiring specific gradation standards for quartzite/granite chips and pea gravel, and the county will evaluate bids based on lowest price, vendor location, product availability, and hauling costs.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract term is one year from execution, with Dane County reserving the right to award the bid on a per-item or total net bid basis. While no incumbent vendors are specified, the county emphasizes sustainability principles and encourages the use of recycled materials when technically and economically feasible. The bid documents do not provide a precise budget range, but the total material quantities and unit pricing suggest a potential contract value that would depend on the specific awarded quantities and unit prices. Prospective bidders should carefully review the detailed material gradation requirements and delivery options to ensure compliance with the county's specifications for this surface treatment aggregate procurement.
