CLARK SF CAMP STONE 153421Bid Documents

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a procurement of stone and gravel for the Clark State Forest campground improvement project through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued on August 26, 2025, with bids due by September 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The specific procurement requirements include 700 tons of #53 stone and 1,300 tons of #2 stone, to be purchased on a lot price basis with pricing that must include shipping and cannot include overage. Bidders must submit their quotes to asimonton@dnr.in.gov, with all quoted prices required to remain valid for thirty calendar days after the response due date. The solicitation mandates that all prices be comprehensive, including delivery and transportation costs to the Clark County project site. Prospective vendors must carefully review all specifications and submit complete bid packages that demonstrate compliance with the technical requirements of the campground improvement project.

The procurement opportunity includes specific set-aside and participation goals for diverse businesses, with mandatory targets of 8% minority-owned business enterprise (MWBE), 11% women-owned business enterprise (MWBE), and 3% veteran-owned small business (IVOSB) participation. Bidders must complete multiple compliance documents, including a Drug-Free Workplace Certification, Employment Eligibility Verification, and Non-Collusion Certification. The solicitation provides potential preferences for Indiana-based businesses and U.S.-manufactured products, which could provide competitive advantages during evaluation. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the volume of stone (2,000 total tons) suggests a moderate-scale infrastructure improvement project. Vendors must demonstrate ethical standards, meet state registration requirements, and provide detailed economic impact information as part of their bid submission. Compliance with Indiana state procurement regulations will be critical for successful bid consideration.
