District 2 plantmix/coldmix bituminous base and surface aggregate

The Nevada State Purchasing Division, on behalf of the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), is soliciting competitive bids for a one-year open term contract for plant mix, cold mix, open graded bituminous base, and surface aggregate materials. This procurement seeks to establish pricing for materials to be delivered FOB at bidder's plant locations or statewide delivery as indicated, with award potentially made to multiple vendors. The contract period extends from the date of award through March 31, 2027, with a nine-month operating period from March through November. Materials must comply with Nevada Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (2014 edition) and specified material composition requirements, including particular standards for Clark County Type 2C mixtures; all products are subject to field testing using Nevada Test Methods and AASHTO Test Methods prior to application, with provisions for rejection and return of non-compliant materials. The materials must be produced in accordance with mix designs previously approved by a Nevada public agency or entity within the calendar year, and anticipated orders are expected to be under 20 tons each, with NDOT vehicles performing pickups from bidder plants located within respective district boundaries. Pricing shall remain fixed for the entire contract period from award through March 31, 2027, with no renewal options mentioned. The bid due date is March 9, 2026, with the posting date of February 10, 2026; additional response dates, site visit requirements, and bidders' conference details are not specified in the provided solicitation documents.

The State of Nevada applies a five percent preference to Nevada-based businesses certifying that a majority of goods are produced in Nevada, and an additional five percent preference is available for local businesses owned and operated by veterans with service-connected disabilities, though these preferences cannot be combined. Awards will be made to the lowest responsible bidder after evaluating factors including location, quality, total cost of ownership, specification conformity, and delivery dates. Vendors must provide comprehensive warranties including fitness for purpose, merchantability, conformity to specifications, and indemnification against patent infringement. The contract may be accessed not only by NDOT but also by the Nevada State Purchasing Division, other state agencies, cities, counties, and political subdivisions as needed. Automobile liability insurance with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 is required only if the vendor delivers the commodity directly; common carrier delivery exempts this requirement. No incumbent vendors, budget ranges, or estimated award values are specified in the solicitation documents; estimated volume quantities are provided for bidding purposes only, and actual quantities may vary based on NDOT's budgetary and operational needs. Vendors must submit quotes through the NevadaEPro electronic procurement system before the specified bid opening date and time listed in Pacific Standard Time, with all submissions received after the deadline being rejected regardless of content.
