Invitation for Bid #: 54-DM-11708

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the purchase and installation of Welded Aluminum Pipe and Aluminum Structural Plate with Headwalls. The NCDOT is seeking bids to furnish, deliver, and assemble these materials at two separate locations in Lexington, North Carolina to replace existing, damaged pipe structures. Bids are due by October 7, 2024 at 2:00 PM ET, and the vendor must deliver the materials within 30 calendar days after receiving the purchase order and complete the assembly at each site within one working day. The contract will be awarded to the responsive bidder offering the lowest price that meets the detailed product specifications provided in the IFB, including requirements for the pipe, headwalls, and associated materials and hardware. Vendors must be authorized resellers and provide warranties.

The NCDOT has a 10% utilization goal for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), and vendors are required to complete the HUB Supplemental Vendor Information form. Pricing must be provided on the Pricing Form, and vendors may submit alternate bids. The contract award will be based on the lowest responsive bid meeting the requirements. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, the successful bidder will need to integrate with any existing infrastructure or technology at the project sites.
