The West Virginia Department of Administration Purchasing Division, on behalf of the Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Abandoned Mine Lands (WVDEP/AML), is conducting a Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ) for high calcium content Limestone Sand across 26 West Virginia counties, including Barbour County. The solicitation (CRFQ 0313 DEP2600000001) seeks to establish an open-end contract for procuring limestone sand with specific technical requirements, including a calcium carbonate content greater than or equal to 90% and precise particle distribution specifications. Each county line item requests 25 tons of limestone sand, totaling 650 tons, to be delivered in 20-25 ton truckloads with standard delivery times of 72 hours and emergency order delivery within 2 working days. The solicitation was issued on July 22, 2025, with quotes closing on August 7, 2025, at 1:30 PM ET. Vendors will be evaluated based on the lowest overall total cost per county, with the contract award structured to provide limestone sand for environmental remediation purposes.

The contract will be valid for one year with potential for up to three successive one-year renewals. Vendors must meet specific qualification requirements, including maintaining commercial general liability and automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Pricing must comprehensively include all labor costs, mileage, travel expenses, and recycling costs, with no additional charges permitted. Vendors are required to provide quarterly reports detailing purchases and maintain sufficient inventory to fulfill contract obligations. The limestone sand will be invoiced and shipped to the West Virginia Office of AML&R in Charleston, with delivery to various county locations as specified by individual orders. While a specific budget range was not detailed, the procurement involves supplying 650 tons of limestone sand across multiple counties, suggesting a substantial contract value for the selected vendor.
