Aggregate Road Materials

Henderson County, Texas, is conducting a competitive bid process (ITB 250706) for Aggregate Road Materials through its Consolidated Road & Bridge Department. The procurement seeks sealed bids for up to 5,000 tons of aggregate materials, specifically Grade 3, Grade 4, or Grade 5 crushed stone or gravel, which must meet precise gradation and quality requirements outlined in the bid documents. Vendors are required to quote prices per ton for each material grade, with delivery expected within 3 business days of order placement. The contract will be a twelve-month agreement effective from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with no renewal options. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire portal or by hard copy by Tuesday, August 26, 2025, prior to 2:00 P.M. CDT, with contract awards to be made per line item to the lowest bidders meeting or exceeding technical specifications.

Potential bidders must complete several mandatory certifications, including non-collusive bidding, cooperative purchasing, vendor acknowledgement, and certifications regarding lobbying and relationships with energy/firearm companies. The solicitation allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling other governmental entities to potentially utilize the contract pricing and terms. Vendors with sole proprietorships, non-profit entities, fewer than 10 full-time employees, or contracts valued under $100,000 may be exempt from certain certification requirements. The county is exempt from state sales tax and federal excise tax. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the bid documents indicate flexibility for political subdivisions to participate in the procurement, with bidders having the option to extend their pricing to other local governmental entities in Texas. The estimated total procurement value is not explicitly stated, but the maximum anticipated purchase is up to 5,000 tons of aggregate materials.
