Aggregate/Screenings - 2025

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is initiating an Open Term Contract for Aggregate, Riprap, Screenings, and Concrete Sand to support highway maintenance projects. The contract will run from the date of award through February 28, 2026, and is open to NDOT, the Nevada State Purchasing Division, other state agencies, cities, counties, and political subdivisions. Vendors must provide F.O.B. destination pricing with freight charges included, and materials must conform to the 2014 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. For Districts I and III, materials must be available for pickup from bidder plants located within 50 miles of specified locations, particularly the Cold Spring Area. Specific material requirements include aggregate with a 5% maximum moisture content, pre-coated screenings coated with 0.75% AC-10, PG 58-28, or PG 70-22TR, and stockpiled no more than three weeks prior to use. The bid is due by February 14, 2025, and vendors must submit quotes through the NevadaEPro procurement system, with bid inquiries directed to Chuy Ampudia, Purchasing Officer.

The procurement offers preferences for Nevada-based businesses, with a 5% preference for companies producing a majority of goods within the state, and additional preferences for veteran-owned businesses on contracts between $50,000-$500,000. Vendors must provide Commercial General Liability Insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and comply with standard terms that require new equipment only. While no specific incumbent vendors are listed, the contract allows for potential annual extensions if deemed in the state's best interest. Pricing is subject to strict controls, with no price increases permitted during the contract term, though vendors may request cancellation if supplier prices increase. Payment will be processed net 30-45 days after invoice receipt and agency approval, with orders potentially rebid separately if they exceed 500 tons and cost savings can be realized. The state encourages the use of purchasing cards for small dollar purchases and requires Energy Star certification for applicable equipment where feasible.
