Crushed Limestone, GFP

The state and local contract opportunity, identified as ID 6846c2157afb2692fb046980, is a procurement initiative for crushed limestone delivery to the Mickelson Trail, specifically targeting mile marker 7, involving Edmunds County and Emery City in South Dakota. The project requires the procurement and delivery of 500 tons of crushed limestone between the Minnekahta and Edgemont Trailheads during a limited timeframe from July 1st to July 31st. Strict material specifications mandate precise gradation requirements, including 100% passing through a specified screen size, with specific percentages required for various sieve sizes ranging from No. 4 to No. 200. Contractors must utilize only belly dump trucks and observe a maximum load limit of 20 tons on bridge crossings. Mickelson Trail personnel will conduct random sampling and testing to ensure material compliance, and vendors are required to provide weight tickets and submit a material sample before delivery. The project's key contact is Jayme Severyn, reachable at 605-280-1811, with the proposal due date set for June 25, 2025.
