Bid No. 223046 Rock Products

The City of Salem, Oregon, in conjunction with Marion County, issued Bid No. 223046 for Rock Products, seeking to procure various rock aggregate materials across four distinct geographical zones. The procurement specifically solicits 1" - 0 and 3/4" - 0 rock products, along with associated hauling, delivery, and spoils disposal services. The bid targets suppliers located within each designated zone, with the intent to establish primary providers for rock material needs. The original bid closing date of May 4, 2022, was extended to May 11, 2022, at 11:00 AM local time, with a Zoom bid opening scheduled for the same day. Evaluation criteria appear to prioritize lowest responsive bidder per zone, with a notable preference for recycled materials if pricing does not exceed non-recycled products by more than 5%. Bidders must comply with local, state, and federal civil rights laws and disclose any legal or regulatory violations from the past three years.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does emphasize compliance with civil rights regulations. Based on the Notice of Intent to Award document, Knife River was selected as the primary contractor for Zones 1 and 4, while Riverbend Materials was chosen for Zones 2 and 3. The contract term is set for one year, beginning July 1, 2022, with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. While precise budget ranges are not detailed, the bid tabulation reveals that total bid amounts varied between vendors, with River Bend Materials initially submitting the lower overall bid. The procurement covers estimated quantities ranging from 170 to 2,500 units per item, suggesting a potentially significant annual procurement value for rock products and related services across Marion County and the City of Salem.
