The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is soliciting bids for a five-year contract to supply and haul crushed stone (Flexible Base Course or FLBC material) to the Holly Hill Maintenance Facility located at 6328 Old State Rd., Holly Hill, SC. The procurement involves an annual requirement of 1,200 US tons of crushed stone, with materials sourced exclusively from suppliers on the current SCDOT Qualified Products List. Deliveries must be completed within two days of purchase order receipt and made during operating hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The solicitation requires online bid submission through www.procurement.sc.gov, with key dates including a July 5, 2022 deadline for questions, July 12, 2022 as the original proposal due date (subsequently amended to August 16, 2022), and an anticipated award posting on August 18, 2022. Bidders must maintain their pricing offer for a minimum of thirty calendar days after the opening date and are required to indicate end-product preferences and vendor status under South Carolina Procurement Code Section 11-35-1524.

The contract allows for South Carolina and US end-product preferences for qualifying vendors, with a Resident Vendor Preference available for companies maintaining an in-state office staffed for at least fifty weeks annually with two employees working minimum thirty-five hours per week. Vendors must register with the State of South Carolina procurement system, obtain a state vendor number, and maintain current insurance, including Commercial General Liability with minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence limits. The initial contract term runs from August 9, 2022, through August 8, 2027, with automatic one-year renewals unless the State provides thirty days' notice of non-renewal. Bidders may include a fuel surcharge as a separate line item, and pricing will be fixed for the initial term with potential adjustments during renewal periods upon written request with supporting documentation. The procurement officer for this solicitation is Vernell Goodwin, who can be contacted at 803-531-4074 or GOODWINVH@SCDOT.ORG. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the annual material requirement of 1,200 tons suggests a substantial ongoing procurement commitment from SCDOT.
