ITB 4575 - Non-Carbonate Gas Well Stone

The City of Midland, located in Michigan, is soliciting sealed bids for Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 4575 to procure 1,200 tons of non-carbonate gas well stone for its landfill operations. The procurement seeks clean, sound, select washed aggregate that must meet specific technical requirements, including precise gradation specifications and laboratory certification for grain size and carbonate content. Bidders are required to provide unit pricing per ton, with material specifications mandating that the stone pass 100% through a 3-inch sieve and 0-5% through a 3/4-inch sieve. The stone must be subangular, subrounded, or round, and completely free from deleterious materials. Sealed bids will be accepted until 2:00 PM on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, with technical questions to be directed to Scott O'Laughlin, Landfill Superintendent, at (989) 837-6989. Bid documents are available through Bidnet Direct by SOVRA/MITN Purchasing Group, and the delivery deadline for the selected material is December 19, 2025, to the City of Midland Landfill located at 4311 East Ashman Street.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any bids and will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor that meets the functional requirements. Gravel trains are acceptable for material delivery, and bidders must complete a comprehensive bid form including company details, unit pricing, and total bid amount. While no incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, the bid emphasizes the need for precise material specifications and laboratory testing. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement is for 1,200 tons of non-carbonate stone, which suggests a potential contract value commensurate with current aggregate market pricing. The evaluation will primarily focus on meeting the technical specifications, pricing, and the vendor's ability to deliver the required quantity by the specified deadline.
