This is a one-time purchase requiring a facility on the NCDOT Materials and Test Vendor List approved under Structural Steel or Steel Mill categories — a mandatory capability filter.

The scope calls for fifty units of W10 x 45 x 20 galvanized steel beams compliant with NCDOT Division of Highways Roads and Structures Specifications (January 2024), sections 1072 and 1076. Steel must meet AASHTO M270 Grade 50 requirements with Charpy V-Notch toughness supplemental requirements for Zone 1 and test code per ASTM A-572/A-992. The bid price covers all delivery, handling, shipping, and administrative fees with delivery FOB destination. Delivery is restricted to Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 2:30 PM within ninety consecutive calendar days after purchase order receipt.

Delivery location is the Surry Bridge Maintenance facility at 1636 Shacktown Road, Yadkinville, North Carolina. Award will be made to the lowest-price responsive bidder meeting all specifications. The state reserves the right to award to multiple vendors, reject any or all bids, or cancel the IFB entirely.

Vendors must be North Carolina registered and in good standing with eVP (Electronic Vendor Portal). Bids are submitted electronically through eVP with a simultaneous public bid opening via Microsoft Teams. Addendum 01 (October 15, 2026) clarifies that vendor-provided delivery insurance may not satisfy insurance requirements; bidders should consult section 15b item 2 of the North Carolina General Terms and Conditions for certificate of insurance obligations. This addendum does not require bidder resubmission. Procurement Specialist Shatisa Morris manages the solicitation.
