Aggregate R2 - 4 Locations

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is conducting a Documented Quote (DQ 25-092 GB) for aggregate materials in Region 2, soliciting vendors to provide 2,450 tons of Type I and Type II aggregate materials across four separate locations near Model, Colorado Springs, and Westcliffe, Colorado. The procurement requires vendors to submit comprehensive pricing using a specific Price Submission Form, with all-inclusive rates covering product, delivery, and associated costs. Bidders must provide aggregates meeting strict CDOT specifications, including precise gradation requirements, maximum 35% wear rate in the Los Angeles Abrasion Test, and specific standards for fractured faces and particle characteristics. The solicitation requires vendors to submit samples for CDOT lab approval prior to delivery and coordinate with designated staff. The quote submission deadline is April 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time, with a contract performance period from the purchase order issuance date through June 30, 2025. Evaluation criteria will include price, sample quality, and delivery lead time, with CDOT reserving the right to select the lowest responsible and responsive bidder for each location.

The solicitation includes a preference for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), which can receive a 3% pricing preference. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability, with defined minimum coverage limits. The procurement is subject to the State of Colorado's Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, which outline specific legal and operational guidelines for vendor performance. While no incumbent vendors are specifically identified, the contract requires strict adherence to CDOT's technical specifications in Section 703 and Section 105, covering aggregate quality, construction standards, and administrative protocols. The total anticipated contract value is estimated at approximately 3,600 tons of aggregate materials, with pricing to be submitted in U.S. Dollars and rounded to the nearest whole cent. Vendors must comply with state and federal regulations, provide detailed documentation, and meet comprehensive technical and operational requirements for aggregate material procurement.
