Base Course Gravel CSP

The state and local contract opportunity is a procurement issued by South Dakota for base course gravel delivery to Custer State Park (CSP), specifically targeting Codington County. The project involves purchasing and delivering two potential quantities of gravel: either 2,000 or 2,500 tons of surfacing aggregate, with CSP retaining discretion over the final selected quantity. The specifications require the contractor to furnish all necessary labor, tools, equipment, and materials for constructing gravel surfacing, with strict adherence to detailed gradation requirements. Delivery is mandated between November 1st and December 31st, with the gravel to be hauled to a CSP gravel pit near the corrals. The contractor will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits and haul agreements, while CSP will provide a loader and operator to push the delivered gravel into a pile. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bids (IFB) with a posted date of October 23, 2024, and a response deadline of November 6, 2024. Payment will be calculated per ton of gravel surfacing, with tonnage weight tickets required for project documentation and verification.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The contract opportunity appears to be open to standard commercial contractors capable of meeting the gravel delivery and specification requirements. While no incumbent vendor was mentioned, the procurement suggests a standard procurement process for infrastructure maintenance materials. The total project value is not definitively stated, but the specifications indicate flexibility in quantity (2,000 or 2,500 tons) which would impact the potential contract value. Interested bidders must carefully review the technical specifications, particularly the aggregate gradation requirements and delivery parameters. The project represents a straightforward infrastructure maintenance procurement focused on providing high-quality base course gravel for Custer State Park's operational needs.
