Aggregate-hot laid-cold laid 2025-2030

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is soliciting bids for a comprehensive materials procurement contract covering aggregate, hot laid, and cold laid bituminous paving materials for the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030. The procurement opportunity includes three distinct pricing schedules: AGPA for aggregates, rip rap, surge stone, sand, and crusher run materials; HLPA for hot laid products including various asphalt and surfacing materials; and CLPA for cold laid bituminous paving mixtures. Vendors must submit detailed pricing schedules for multiple material types, including specific aggregate classifications, sand varieties, and asphalt mixtures. The solicitation requires vendors to be registered in the state's procurement system and submit various certifications, including a Drug-Free Workplace Certification and a No SCDOT Commissioner Interest form. Bids must be submitted online by July 31, 2025, at 14:30:00, with the contract award to be posted on September 19, 2025. The initial contract term is one year, with the potential for four additional one-year renewals, creating a total possible contract period of five years.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Potential bidders must provide comprehensive loading point locations with their offers and understand that the contract is subject to fund availability, with no guaranteed purchase quantities for individual items. Vendors will need to complete detailed bid schedules that include their Federal Employer Identification Number, full contact information, and authorized signatures. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the multi-year contract and broad material categories suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity. Vendors are required to comply with SCDOT's procurement regulations and demonstrate no conflicts of interest with SCDOT commissioners or recent employees. The procurement contact is Jeffery C. Schwalk, who can be reached at SchwalkJC@SCDOT.org for any questions or clarifications about the bidding process.
