IFB 26-03 Concrete

Guadalupe County is seeking competitive sealed bids through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #26-03 for concrete products to be delivered during calendar year 2026, with bids due on November 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST. The procurement involves four specific concrete product types: Flowable Fill (80 cubic yards), 3,000 PSI (100 cubic yards), 4,000 PSI (76 cubic yards), and two grout categories with zero estimated quantities. The county is divided into four delivery areas, and bidders must provide pricing for each product in each area, with all delivery charges included in per-yard pricing. Bidders are required to comply with Texas state laws regarding business practices and must submit various certifications, including non-discrimination statements and interested party disclosures. Key evaluation criteria include pricing, delivery capabilities, and local preference, with the county reserving the right to award contracts to multiple bidders based on location and pricing. Bidders must also provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including automobile and general liability insurance.

The procurement opportunity appears open to most businesses, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Bidders must meet several compliance requirements, including non-boycott of Israel certification, non-engagement with certain countries, and conflict of interest disclosures. The county will make payments within 30 days after satisfactory service acceptance and is not obligated to purchase minimum quantities, instead ordering on an as-needed basis. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the procurement involves approximately 256 cubic yards of concrete products across multiple delivery areas. The contract period will run from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, providing a full calendar year of potential service delivery. Local businesses may have a slight advantage, as the county has included a local preference provision that may favor bidders whose principal place of business is within the county.
