Aluminized Pipe, Aluminized Pipe Arch and Aluminized Pipe Bands for NCDOT - Surry County Bridge

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Aluminized Pipe, Pipe Arch, and Bands specifically for Division 11 Surry County Bridge Maintenance. The procurement is a one-time purchase to replenish inventory for upcoming projects, seeking specific quantities of connecting bands and aluminized pipes with varying internal diameters and corrugation specifications. The solicitation requires vendors to provide 250 feet of 72" ID pipe, 160 feet of 84" ID pipe, and 300 feet of 81"x59" aluminized pipe arch, all at 12 gauge thickness. Bids are due on August 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET through the state's electronic vendor portal, with an expected delivery timeline of 60 consecutive calendar days after purchase order receipt. Vendors must be authorized resellers and provide manufacturer documentation, ensuring all pipes comply with NCDOT 2024 Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures. The procurement requires vendors to complete specific attachments for vendor information and worker location details, with pricing structured to include both unit and extended prices for six distinct line items.

The IFB includes a Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) participation goal of 10%, encouraging minority and small business involvement as 1st or 2nd tier subcontractors. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be a targeted inventory replenishment for bridge maintenance infrastructure. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with potential price matching requirements under Executive Order 50 and provide comprehensive documentation of their qualifications. The solicitation is open to authorized resellers who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements, with an emphasis on diverse business participation. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and the procurement appears to be a standard inventory replacement contract for NCDOT's Division 11 infrastructure maintenance needs.
