Concrete blocks (DOT011701658)

The West Virginia Division of Highways, through the Department of Administration Purchasing Division, issued Consolidated Request for Quotation (CRFQ) 0803 DOT1800000005 for a one-time procurement of concrete blocks on July 21, 2017, with a submission deadline of August 3, 2017, at 1:30 p.m. The solicitation seeks 372 units of 2' x 2' x 6' concrete barrier blocks to be delivered to the WV DOH Route 35 Headquarters located approximately 12 miles from Interstate 64 exit 40 near Scott Depot, West Virginia. Delivery must occur within 30 working days after receipt of a purchase order or notice to proceed, with pricing quoted on a per-unit basis and delivery provided on an F.O.B. destination basis. Technical questions were required to be submitted by July 26, 2017. Contract award will be made to the vendor offering the lowest overall total cost that meets all mandatory specifications, with pricing firm for the life of the contract. Vendors must complete all pricing documentation in full and comply with West Virginia procurement regulations, including submission of a notarized Purchasing Affidavit certifying financial and compliance eligibility prior to contract award.

The procurement permits vendor preference consideration for qualified applicants under West Virginia Code 5A-3-37, with preference percentages ranging from 2.5 to 5 percent for residency-based qualifications and 3.5 percent for veteran-owned vendors meeting specified criteria. Non-resident small, women-, and minority-owned businesses certified under West Virginia Code 5A-3-59 are also eligible for preference consideration. Contracts valued at $100,000 or more require submission of a Disclosure of Interested Parties form to the West Virginia Ethics Commission prior to contract award, and while no specific budget range is stated in the solicitation documents, the per-unit pricing structure suggests a total procurement value substantially less than typical bonding thresholds. All vendors must comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations and must be properly licensed and registered with relevant state agencies.
