Gravel/Grounds

Parkway School District in Missouri is issuing a request for quotes to supply gravel on an as-needed basis throughout a twelve-month contract period beginning April 1, 2026, and ending March 31, 2027. The district estimates spending approximately $10,000 during the initial twelve-month term, though this figure is provided for vendor guidance only and does not constitute a guaranteed purchase commitment. All bids must be submitted exclusively through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal at https://parkwayschools.bonfirehub.com/ no later than March 27, 2026, with public opening occurring at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. Vendors must submit three references, preferably from educational institutions, and identify any proposed subcontractors requiring prior written district approval. The district will evaluate proposals based on the "lowest and best" criteria while considering factors including specification compliance, vendor ability to supply required items, commitment to maintain sufficient inventory, prior experience with the district, and financial strength. All deliveries must be made F.O.B. destination to the Central Warehouse at 363 North Woods Mill Road, Chesterfield, Missouri 63017, with freight allowed, and vendors may offer multi-year proposals in addition to the initial one-year term.

The solicitation does not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond. However, all vendors must comply with federal work authorization programs, provide OSHA safety training for on-site employees, obtain security badge identification, and maintain current debarment and suspension verification through the System for Award Management (SAM). The district maintains tax-exempt status for materials and supplies purchased for facility construction, repair, or remodeling, which may apply to gravel purchases. Invoices must include the purchase order number, ordering department, shipment date, quantity, price, and items shipped, with payment contingent upon receipt of all items. Price increases are permitted with 30-day advance notice and approval by the Purchasing Manager but must reflect cost increases only without profit or overhead additions. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and award various portions of the contract to different vendors.
