Aggregate-KDWP All Parks and Wildlife Areas

The Kansas Department of Administration's Procurement and Contracts division is seeking a statewide aggregate contract for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) covering all parks and wildlife areas. The solicitation (Event ID 17300-EVT0010303) is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with a five-year term running from 06/13/2025 to 07/24/2025. The contract aims to establish a pool of qualified vendors to provide various aggregate materials, including road rock, clean rock, screenings, shot rock, limestone, sand, and other construction materials. Vendors must specify the Kansas counties they can serve and the types of aggregate they can supply, with delivery to the KDWP Pratt Headquarters located at 512 SE 25th Ave, Pratt, KS 67124. The procurement process will involve individual agencies requesting quotes from qualified vendors in their county or adjacent counties, with orders over $5,000 requiring quotes from all vendors in the area. Potential bidders must submit clarification questions by 07/03/2025, with the final bid response deadline on 07/24/2025 at 2:00 PM CDT. Vendors must comply with specific measurement and moisture content guidelines based on Kansas Department of Transportation specifications and be prepared to work within regular business hours (8:00 AM-5:00 PM, Monday-Friday).

The solicitation includes several set-aside designations and preferences for bidders, including opportunities for Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses and other certified business categories. Vendors must obtain a current Tax Clearance Certificate and complete forms related to immigration reform, sexual harassment, and boycott of Israel. The contract allows political subdivisions to utilize the awarded contract, providing broad accessibility for various government entities across Kansas. Bidders must accept state procurement card (P-Card) payments without additional charges and are encouraged to have policies discouraging human trafficking. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract is designed as an open-ended, multiple-award contract to create a flexible vendor pool for state agencies. The state reserves the right to purchase and haul aggregate using state-furnished trucks and maintains the ability to accept or reject any bid responses. Political subdivisions can potentially leverage the contract, expanding its potential value and reach across Kansas's 105 counties, which are organized into six administrative districts for procurement purposes.
