DOTD Aggregate Contract, Stone, Size 57M

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has issued a Request for Emailed Bids (RFx) 3000025608 for the procurement of aggregate stone, Size 57M, to support maintenance operations at the DOTD District 61 New Roads Maintenance Unit in Louisiana. The solicitation covers a 12-month contract period from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, with an estimated quantity of 760 tons of aggregates. Bidders must submit proposals via email to Curtis.Lowe@la.gov by November 6, 2025, at 11:59 PM CST, with the RFx number included in the subject line. All aggregates must be sourced from products listed on the DOTD Approved Materials List and comply with Section 1003.08.2.1 of the 2016 Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges. The materials will be subject to laboratory testing and stockpile approval, with pricing quoted on an F.O.B. Destination basis including all freight and delivery charges. The Department reserves the right to adjust quantities and may cancel items or the entire contract with 30 days' written notice.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must be registered in LaPac and corporations and limited liability companies must be in good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State. The contract includes provisions for potential renewal for two additional 12-month periods, extending the total possible contract term to 36 months. Payment will be processed within 30 days of invoice receipt or delivery, with a strong preference for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments. While the exact budget range is not specified, the estimated quantity of 760 tons suggests a moderate-sized procurement. The stated quantity is an estimated usage with no guaranteed quantities, and materials will be ordered on an as-needed basis. The contract allows for flexibility in ordering, with the Department able to increase or decrease quantities at the same price, terms, and conditions throughout the contract period.
