Invitation for Bid #: 54-DM-9282

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for Aluminum Structural Plate Pipe Arch and Headwalls. The purpose of this procurement is to obtain pricing from vendors to furnish, deliver, and assemble these products for Division 7 Bridge Maintenance, in order to replace several existing, damaged pipe structures. The IFB provides detailed specifications for five line items, including dimensions, materials, and installation requirements. Vendors must submit bids by September 16, 2024 at 2:00PM ET, and the State intends to award a one-time purchase contract. The IFB outlines pricing and product identification requirements, as well as transportation, delivery, and assembly provisions. Vendors must be authorized resellers and provide manufacturer warranty information.

The State encourages HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation and requires vendors to complete related forms. Additional terms address contract administration, including continuous improvement, acceptance of work, invoicing, and dispute resolution. While the IFB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, it is unclear if there are any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The awarded contract value is also not specified, but the State likely has a defined budget range for this procurement.
