BASE COURSE AGGREGATE TYPE I & II D2

The State of New Mexico General Services Department Purchasing Division is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for a Price Agreement on behalf of the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) District Two, seeking vendors to supply Base Course Aggregate Type I and Type II materials for highway and bridge construction projects. The procurement covers 33 line items involving the delivery of aggregate materials to 16 different NMDOT District Two patrol yard locations throughout eastern and south-central New Mexico, with each location requiring approximately 1 ton of material. Vendors must be prequalified with NMDOT and obtain product approval through the NMDOT Product Evaluation Program prior to bid submission. All materials must conform to Section 303 of the current NMDOT Standard Specifications for Highway and Bridge Construction and be delivered within 60 days of purchase order issuance. Electronic bid submissions are required through the eProNM system by November 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with a public bid opening occurring via Microsoft Teams and in-person at the State Purchasing Division office in Santa Fe. Vendor selection will be based on estimated quantities, unit costs, proximity to job sites, truck sizes, material availability, and past performance.

The contract mandates that vendors must perform at least 40 percent of work with their own organization and comply with the Public Works Minimum Wage Act. Upon purchase order issuance, vendors must provide performance, payment, and materials bonds equal to 100 percent of the total purchase order amount. Required insurance includes $1,000,000 per person and $2,000,000 per occurrence for general liability and automobile liability, as well as workers' compensation insurance. The initial contract term is one year from the award date, with options to extend for three additional one-year periods, not to exceed four years total. Pricing shall exclude state gross receipts and local option taxes, which will be added separately by NMDOT, and payment terms are Net 30 with F.O.B. Destination. Late payment charges of 1.5 percent per month will apply after 30 days from certification of acceptance. Multiple awards are anticipated, and all vendors must submit a signed W-9 Form with their bid submission. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement across 16 locations suggests a substantial potential contract value for successful bidders.
