Bituminous Materials Bid

The Township of East Amwell in Hunterdon County, New Jersey is conducting a competitive bid solicitation (Bid #23-02) for bituminous road materials to be procured over a two-year period, with potential contract extensions for two additional one-year terms. The procurement encompasses multiple road material types including Base I-2, FABC I-5, HMA 9.5 M64, HMA 19.5 M64, MOGFC 9.5mm, and various washed clean stone materials, with estimated quantities ranging from 100 to 850 tons per material type. The bid will be publicly opened on January 9, 2024 at 10:00 A.M. through a Zoom broadcast on the BIDNET electronic platform. Bidders must submit unit prices for each material type and can specify primary and secondary pick-up locations, with the township evaluating bids based on both unit pricing and potential transportation costs. The procurement includes an asphalt price adjustment mechanism tied to the monthly asphalt price index published by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, allowing for dynamic pricing throughout the contract period.

Bidders must comply with comprehensive New Jersey state regulations regarding public contracts, including submission of business registration certificates, non-collusion affidavits, and ownership disclosure forms. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid documents emphasize compliance with equal employment opportunity and anti-discrimination provisions. Bidders will be required to demonstrate adherence to state procurement guidelines and provide comprehensive documentation of their business qualifications. Materials will be procured on an as-needed basis, with the township managing pickup and distribution. Though a specific contract value is not detailed, the broad range of material types and potential two-to-four-year contract duration suggests a significant procurement opportunity for local suppliers of bituminous road materials and related aggregates.
