Concrete

Guadalupe County, Texas is requesting competitive sealed bids for concrete materials under IFB 27-01 to support county road and bridge operations, with bids due November 5, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST and questions due October 22, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST. A local-preference provision allows award to a local bidder within three percent of the lowest bid price if the governing body determines it offers the best combination of price and economic development opportunities.

The scope covers four concrete product types: Flowable Fill (80 cubic yards), 3,000 PSI concrete (100 cubic yards), 3,500 PSI concrete (100 cubic yards), and 4,000 PSI concrete (76 cubic yards). Pricing must be submitted on a per-cubic-yard basis for four geographic delivery areas within Guadalupe County, with all charges for delivery, loading, and unloading included in the unit price. Materials must be delivered within 24 hours of order placement during business hours (7:30 AM to 4:00 PM), except Friday orders deliverable by Monday. Demurrage charges are not permitted, and no additional charges beyond the bid price are allowable. The county will order materials on an as-needed basis with no minimum purchase obligation. Testing may be performed at the county's request through an independent laboratory; the successful bidder bears testing costs if results show non-conformance, and the county bears costs if specifications are met.

The contract period runs January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, with no renewal options. Bidders may submit proposals electronically through BidNet Direct or as hard copy with one original and one electronic copy on flash drive. Standard insurance requirements include general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation with minimum limits of $1,000,000, along with indemnification provisions. All bids must remain valid for 90 days following the bid opening date.
