The contract will span three years, from 11/14/2025 to 11/13/2028, with 18 line items covering different concrete and flowable fill specifications for each contract year. Quantities per line item range from 100 to 350 cubic yards, and bidders must incorporate all associated costs, including fuel surcharges, environmental fees, and small load charges, into their unit prices. Bid submissions are due online by 10/23/2025 at 2:30 PM, with all questions required to be submitted by 10/08/2025. The contract will be awarded on 11/03/2025 and will automatically renew for 1-year terms unless notice is given. Potential bidders must have a state vendor number and comply with the Qualified Product List (QPL) for Ready Mix Concrete Plants, which requires current NRMCA (National Ready Mixed Concrete Association) certifications.

Bidders must adhere to minority business participation guidelines and comply with specific restrictions on SCDOT commissioner interests and post-employment limitations. The contract is subject to Secretary of Transportation approval and includes provisions preventing current or former SCDOT employees (particularly those in management positions) from working on the project within 365 days of their employment termination. Contractors must certify that no SCDOT Commission members have direct or indirect financial interests in the project proposal or bid during their appointment term and for one year after termination. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the multi-year contract and extensive line items suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with SCDOT's stringent qualification requirements, including being listed on the Qualified Product List for Ready Mix Concrete Plants and maintaining current NRMCA certifications. The solicitation indicates a comprehensive approach to procuring concrete and flowable fill services, with a focus on qualified, compliant local and regional suppliers.
