Concrete Box Beams, Bridge Rail and Components

The West Virginia Department of Administration Purchasing Division is conducting a Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ) 0803 DOT2500000071 for the West Virginia Division of Highways, specifically targeting a bridge replacement project in Lewis County. The procurement seeks a one-time purchase of specialized concrete bridge construction materials, including 1 interior box beam (832-1/2 square feet), 1 exterior box beam (333 square feet), multiple elastomeric laminated bearing pads, swedged anchor bolts, sponge rubber joint fillers, Thrie Beam Bridge Rail, post-tension bearing plates, post-tension bars, and asymmetrical Thrie-Beam transition sections. All materials must conform to the West Virginia Division of Highways Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges (2023 edition), with strict technical requirements including specific concrete strength specifications (5500 psi at detention, 8000 psi at 28 days), precise dimensional tolerances, and coating standards. The solicitation was issued on May 27, 2025, with technical questions due by June 4, 2025, and the bid closing on June 12, 2025, at 13:30. The contract will be awarded to the vendor providing the lowest overall total cost, with delivery required within 60 working days after receiving the purchase order.

The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors, with provisions supporting small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses. Vendors must register with the West Virginia Purchasing Division and potentially pay a $125 registration fee if not already registered. The contract includes specific insurance requirements, mandating $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance, and compliance with worker's compensation regulations. While no specific budget range is visible in the documents, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a significant infrastructure investment for the Sand Fork of Fink Girder Replacement project. Vendors must provide detailed lab reports with shipping tickets and adhere to precise technical specifications for each component. The state reserves the right to reject any bid and emphasizes preferences for domestic steel and aluminum products. Importantly, the contract is contingent on legislative funding appropriations, with the state retaining the right to cancel if funds become unavailable.
