IFB 3-2026 Delivered Concrete

The Town of Front Royal, Virginia is issuing Invitation for Bids (IFB) 3-2026 for the procurement of delivered ready-mix concrete on an as-needed basis throughout the contract period. The solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide and deliver hydraulic cement concrete to various locations within Front Royal, with bids due by April 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EST. Deliverables include multiple concrete types specified on a per-cubic-yard basis, including B Mix, A Mix, A-3 Mix (regular and natural sand), A-4 Mix (natural sand), Exposed Aggregate Mix, Ready Mix Flowable Fill, and CG-12 concrete, along with short load fees, all of which must comply with Section 217 of the 2020 Road and Bridge Specifications and be free of additives and accelerants. Contractors must deliver concrete within three business days of order during standard daylight hours (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday), with weekend and after-hours deliveries compensated at normal rates. Required qualifications include comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per incident, automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000, and workers' compensation coverage as required by Virginia. The contract period extends for one year from the date of award, with four optional consecutive one-year renewal periods available, and the Town intends to award multiple contracts to both a primary and secondary vendor based on lowest responsive and responsible bid criteria.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the solicitation documents. Pricing must be submitted on a per-cubic-yard basis and shall include all fees and incidentals such as environmental costs, fuel surcharges, delivery, disposal charges, and short load fees, with no extra charges permitted. Payment will be made within forty-five days of invoice receipt or service completion, whichever is later, and at contract renewal, price increases are limited to the percentage change in the Producer Price Index Industry Code 1333-0101C for the preceding twelve months. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requirements are identified in the available documentation. The solicitation does not specify a budget range or award value; rather, it establishes a firm fixed-price structure based on competitive bidding for on-call concrete delivery services. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, and delete items prior to award.
