Fuel Tank Concrete Pad

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a Fuel Tank Concrete Pad project located at the Lyons Sub Area facility in Rooks County, Kansas. The procurement involves constructing an 8-inch thick concrete pad foundation for a 2,000-gallon gasoline fuel tank, which includes site preparation, soil removal, excavation, compaction, foundation stabilization, and installation of 22 bollards. Specific technical requirements include #6 rebar placement at 24" on-center, 6" of AB-3 foundation stabilization underneath the concrete slab, and precise coordination with tank manufacturers for electrical conduit placement. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for March 4, 2025, at 10:30 AM at the project site, and all potential bidders must attend in person or risk bid rejection. Questions must be submitted electronically to the Procurement Officer by March 14, 2025, with the final bid submission deadline set for March 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT. The project has a delivery completion date of September 30, 2026, and contractors must complete all work within 30 working days after contract award and preconstruction meeting.

The RFQ includes provisions for bidder preference programs, specifically supporting certified businesses and disabled veteran-owned businesses who submit required documentation. Political subdivisions such as cities, counties, and school districts are permitted to utilize the resulting contract, though the state assumes no responsibility for their payments. Bidders must obtain a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue to be considered for award, and the contract will be awarded on a low-bid basis without consideration of prompt payment discounts. Procurement card (P-Card) payments will be accepted with no additional charges. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves constructing a concrete pad with multiple technical specifications, suggesting a moderate-scale infrastructure investment. Pricing must be provided as a lump sum including all materials and labor, with FOB destination delivery terms, and the project will be tax-exempt on labor only, with material prices including applicable taxes.
