Conservation/FW/WL - Aggregate -Coon Gulf Tract

The state of Alabama, specifically through Jefferson County and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), is seeking an aggregate stone procurement for the Coon Gulf Forever Wild Tract located in Jackson County. The solicitation requires the delivery of 250 tons of DOT #57 Stone, with 100 tons to be delivered to one set of coordinates and 150 tons to another, both within the Waterfowl Management Area. Delivery is required by March 31, 2025, with specific delivery windows from Monday through Friday between 0700-1600 hours at 5302 CR 491 in Stevenson, AL. Vendors must provide 72 hours notice prior to delivery, coordinate with onsite DCNR employee Austin LeCroy, and be prepared to conduct tailgating services. The procurement is being conducted through Alabama Buys, the state's electronic procurement portal, with a quick quote solicitation process. Interested suppliers must be registered in the system and submit responses electronically, with the proposal due date set for March 5, 2025.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types, though vendors must comply with several state requirements. Suppliers must be registered with the Alabama Secretary of State, enrolled in E-Verify if they have employees in Alabama, and submit disclosure statements for contracts exceeding $5,000. While no specific budget range is listed, the aggregate procurement suggests a moderate-scale project with a relatively straightforward scope of work. Vendors must be capable of delivering aggregate stone to rural, unpaved Wildlife Management Area roads and coordinating with state conservation personnel. The solicitation requires vendors to certify they are not engaged in boycotts against jurisdictions with which Alabama maintains open trade, and must be prepared to work within the state's standard payment and tax exemption frameworks. All responses will be subject to price analysis based on cost realism and reasonableness, with the state reserving the right to evaluate and select vendors accordingly.
