The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is soliciting bids for an Invitation for Bid (IFB #159288) to procure ready-mix concrete from VDOT-approved concrete plants within a 45-mile radius of the Christiansburg Residency in the Salem District. The procurement specifically covers hydraulic cement concrete for various work locations and routes in Montgomery, Giles, and Pulaski counties. Bidders must be registered in eVA, the Commonwealth's e-procurement system, and capable of providing on-call concrete services with specific delivery requirements, including confirming order receipt within 8 business hours and delivering within 12 business hours. The contract term is one year with three optional one-year renewals, and bid prices will be evaluated per cubic yard, including all fees and incidentals. Bids are due by 1:00 PM EST on November 5, 2024, with a virtual public bid opening scheduled for November 6, 2024, at 1:30 PM EST. VDOT will make multiple awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders who meet the specified qualifications and geographical requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. Bidders must provide Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) registration information and disclose any proposed subcontractors, who require prior written approval from VDOT. The procurement allows for subcontracting, with VDOT requiring detailed information about subcontractors' qualifications, experience, and equipment. While no specific budget range was provided, the contract allows for flexible, as-needed concrete ordering to support VDOT maintenance work. The procurement does not reference any incumbent vendors or specify existing infrastructure integration requirements. VDOT reserves the right to adjust delivery times based on maintenance needs and emergencies, suggesting the contract is designed to provide flexible, responsive concrete supply for transportation infrastructure maintenance in the specified counties.
