Eweb ITB 23-064-g rock materials

The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 23-064-G) for as-needed rock materials procurement across Lane County, Oregon. The ITB seeks contractors capable of supplying various aggregate materials including crushed rock, bar run, machine selected rip rap, pipe mix, open rock, buckshot, pea rock, loam, fill sand, and drain rock. EWEB is establishing a five-year contract term with the option to award multiple contracts to qualified suppliers. The bid submission deadline is May 3, 2023, at 2:30 PM PT, with bidders required to provide comprehensive unit pricing for different rock and aggregate products. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on responsiveness, pricing, and the ability to consistently supply specified rock materials. Contractors will generally be expected to have rock materials available for EWEB pickup at their site, with potential occasional delivery requirements. Technical specifications in the ITB outline detailed requirements for material quality, sustainability, packaging, and transportation strategies.

The procurement allows for multiple contract awards, with EWEB ultimately selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidders. In this specific procurement, Delta Sand & Gravel and Riverbend Materials, both located in Eugene, Oregon, have been identified as the intended contract awardees. The maximum compensation for the entire contract term is set at $150,000, with EWEB reserving the right to purchase aggregates from alternative suppliers at its discretion. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The contract provides flexibility for EWEB, allowing them to procure rock materials on an as-needed basis throughout the five-year term. While the ITB does not specify precise quantity guarantees, it establishes a framework for ongoing rock material procurement with predetermined unit pricing. The procurement appears designed to ensure reliable access to various rock and aggregate materials for EWEB's infrastructure and maintenance needs.
