KDOT Aggregate

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and the Kansas Department of Administration's Office of Procurement and Contracts are seeking competitive bids for aggregate materials across six districts through Invitation for Bid (IFB) EVT0010439. The procurement encompasses various aggregate types including base construction, ditch lining, riprap, lightweight aggregate, and crushed limestone, with estimated quantities ranging from 100 to 9,000 tons per stockpile location. Bidders must provide detailed product specifications, gradation details, and meet strict quality requirements related to soundness, wear, and specific gravity standards. The contract period will run from the date of contract execution through November 30, 2029, with annual pricing updates and vendor refreshes. The bid event is open from August 13, 2025, at 4:30 PM CDT to September 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT, with pricing to be dynamically adjusted weekly based on the Average Retail On-Highway Diesel pricing for the Midwest region. Aggregate prices will fluctuate $0.05 per ton for every $0.10 per gallon change in fuel prices, and delivery will be F.O.B. Destination.

Bidders must meet several qualification requirements, including submitting a current Tax Clearance Certificate, completing forms such as Boycott of Israel, Sexual Harassment, and Immigration Reform and Control documentation. The procurement includes potential set-aside preferences for Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses, State Use Purchases, and Certified Business categories. Political subdivisions like cities, counties, and school districts are permitted to utilize the contract, though the State of Kansas assumes no responsibility for their payments. While no specific budget range is detailed, the multi-year contract suggests significant procurement volume across multiple districts. Bidders must be officially invited to participate and register with the state at least 24 hours before the event's closing. The State reserves the right to award contracts to multiple bidders and purchase materials best suited to existing conditions. Vendors must comply with state immigration laws and may be subject to tax status verification, with the final shipping destination being Fiscal Services in Topeka, Kansas.
