Conservation/WL/FW/Coosa WMA -Culverts-BABA

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is seeking a vendor to provide seven culverts for the Coosa Wildlife Management Area (WMA) located at 143 County Road 15 in Rockford, Alabama. The procurement specifically requires seven culverts, each 20 feet long with a 24-inch inside diameter, constructed from double-wall corrugated plastic or poly material. A critical requirement for this procurement is full compliance with the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, which mandates that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials must be produced in the United States. Vendors must complete and submit a Vendor Certificate of Compliance form demonstrating BABA adherence as part of their bid package. The solicitation was posted on April 4, 2025, with bid responses due by April 9, 2025, and a required delivery date of April 30, 2025. Evaluation will likely focus on BABA compliance, technical specifications meeting the culvert requirements, and ability to deliver within the specified timeline.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The opportunity appears open to any vendor capable of meeting the technical specifications and BABA requirements. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the procurement is located in Conecuh County and involves infrastructure improvement for the Coosa Wildlife Management Area. The solicitation documents do not specify a precise award value or budget range for the culvert procurement. Vendors should note that non-compliance with BABA requirements could result in contract disqualification, with contractors bearing full risk and potential replacement costs for non-compliant materials. Additionally, the state's standard terms and conditions outlined in the Quick Quote Standard Boilerplate indicate that the contract will be subject to standard state procurement regulations, including requirements for tax compliance, E-Verify participation, and ongoing good standing with state procurement guidelines.
