Hauling Material Upon Request - Buncombe County

The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Highway Division 13, is requesting sealed bids for a renewable Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract to provide two multi-axle dump trucks with operators for hauling material on various routes in Buncombe County, with bids due October 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at the Division 13 office in Asheville.

If NCDOT suspends operations, the contractor receives a minimum payment of 4 hours at the contract unit bid price per truck. Payment is due no later than 90 days after the Engineer accepts the work as complete.

The contract is non-exclusive, and NCDOT reserves the right to make multiple awards to lowest responsible bidders.
