DOTD Asphaltic Mix F/Hot App -Supplement

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for asphaltic mixtures for hot application across Districts 02 and 05, specifically seeking bids for three types of asphaltic mixtures: regular hot mix, PG70-22M polymer modified mix, and PG76-22M polymer modified mix. Each line item represents one ton of material, with the bid opening on September 3, 2025, and a contract period from September 9, 2025, through February 28, 2026. Bidders must list their plant locations and associated Producer/Supplier Codes, with all materials required to meet specific DOTD specifications and come from approved materials lists for aggregates and asphaltic materials. Pricing will be per ton, with unit prices limited to two decimal places, and bidders must have their plants certified by the Department prior to award. The District Administrator will select a certified plant closest to the job site based on unit price and mileage factors, with mileage computed at $0.15 per mile for the first 41 miles, then $0.75 per mile thereafter. The Department reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities at the same prices, terms, and conditions throughout the contract period.

The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The solicitation includes a Cooperative Purchase Agreement that allows other state agencies, political subdivisions, and quasi-state agencies to potentially utilize the contract, with bidders having the option to accept or decline cooperative purchasing. Vendors who were awarded a contract in the previous solicitation opening on August 4, 2025, do not need to submit a new bid. The contract covers asphaltic materials for Districts 02 and 05, as detailed in the DOTD District Map, which encompasses multiple parishes including Jefferson Parish. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract allows for flexible quantity adjustments and covers multiple types of asphaltic mixtures. Bidders must use materials from the Approved Materials List for Asphaltic Materials and Aggregates, which includes suppliers like Blacklidge Emulsions, Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Hunt Refining Company, Martin Asphalt Company, Marathon Petroleum, Valero Marketing and Supply, and Delek US Asphalt.
