Crushed Aggregate - County Projects (2025)

Dane County Highway and Transportation Department is seeking bids for crushed aggregate materials for three specific county road construction projects in Wisconsin for the 2025 fiscal year. The Request for Bid #2025-RFB-016 covers aggregate materials for CTH JG in Mt Horeb Village, CTH N in Bristol, and CTH P connecting CTH PD to CTH S in Springdale and Cross Plains. The procurement requires vendors to provide base aggregate dense 3/4-inch materials and disposal services for clean fill, asphalt pavement, and concrete, with project-specific quantities ranging from 1,200 to 6,300 tons of base aggregate and 50 to 520 cubic yards of disposal materials. Key submission requirements include completing a detailed pricing spreadsheet with unit costs, material costs, and hauling distances, as well as providing comprehensive quarry location information. Vendor questions were due by March 6, 2025, with electronic bid responses required by March 13, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The contract will be effective for one year, with material readiness dates specified as March 31, April 15, and May 31, 2025, for the respective projects.

The bid does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does include provisions encouraging local vendor participation and preferences. The county will evaluate bids based on base unit price combined with hauling costs and reserves the right to award on a per-item or total net bid basis. Vendors must meet Wisconsin Division of Highways specifications for aggregate gradation and quality, provide appropriate insurance, and adhere to safety standards. A hauling rate of $0.42 per ton/mile is established, and the county will impose liquidated damages of $100 per weekday for delays in material availability. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the bid suggests a competitive procurement process for aggregate materials across multiple county infrastructure projects. The county also shows a preference for products with recycled materials, indicating an environmental consideration in the bidding process. Vendors must be prepared to provide detailed documentation, including load tickets with weight information and comprehensive quarry and contact details.
