Bid No. 256028 Fully Fractured Rock Products

The City of Salem, Oregon is seeking bids for Fully Fractured Rock Products (Bid No. 256028) through a competitive procurement process for an annual contract to supply rock materials. The solicitation specifically requests bids for four line items: 700 tons of 3/4" - 0 rock delivered, 3,000 tons of 3/4" - 0 rock to be picked up, 700 tons of 3" - 0 rock delivered, and 3,000 tons of 3" - 0 rock to be picked up. Bidders must provide rock materials that conform to Oregon Department of Transportation 2024 Standard Specifications, with strict requirements for fractured faces and moisture content limited to 7% by weight. The rock plant must be located within 30 miles of the intersection of Liberty and Mission Streets in Salem, and vendors must guarantee delivery of up to 350 cubic yards during a standard eight-hour workday. The bid is scheduled to close on May 7, 2025 at 11:00 AM local time, with an anticipated contract term from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, and potential for up to four additional one-year renewals subject to City approval and satisfactory performance.

The procurement allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling other public agencies to potentially utilize the contract. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid emphasizes non-discrimination and equal opportunity principles. The City reserves the right to purchase from alternative providers if the primary contractor cannot meet delivery requirements, and pricing will be determined per ton with adjustments for moisture content above the specified threshold. The procurement includes comprehensive insurance requirements, with providers expected to maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence. Although a specific budget range is not detailed, the contract provides flexibility for the City, including the ability to terminate with 30 days' notice and inspect or reject non-conforming goods. The solicitation suggests this is an annual contract with potential for multiple years of engagement, offering vendors a stable opportunity for ongoing business with the City of Salem.
