Kershaw Flowable Fill & Concrete On Call

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is seeking an on-call contract for furnishing and delivering construction materials throughout Kershaw County, with the solicitation specifically targeting flowable fill and concrete materials. The procurement is an approximately three-year contract running from 05/01/2025 to 04/30/2028, covering a comprehensive range of construction materials including class 5000 and 3000 patch mix, accelerator dosing, non-excavatable and excavatable flowable fill, and various retarders. Bidders must submit pricing for multiple line items across three contract years, with quantities ranging from 10 to 15,000 units depending on the specific material. The bid must be submitted online by 04/14/2025 at 2:30 PM, with all technical questions due by 04/07/2025, and the contract is scheduled for award on 04/24/2025. Technical requirements are stringent, with detailed specifications for concrete mix designs, including precise standards for cement content, aggregate ratios, strength specifications, and placement techniques. Pricing must include unit costs for various concrete classes (2500 to 5000), flowable fill types, accelerators, retarders, and additional fees such as environmental and fuel surcharges.

The solicitation strongly encourages minority business participation, requiring bidders to disclose any minority business certifications or subcontractor arrangements. While no specific set-aside percentages are outlined, the procurement documents suggest a preference for diverse vendor participation. The contract includes provisions for potential price adjustments after the initial term, limited by the Consumer Price Index for "Other Goods & Services", which provides some financial flexibility for vendors. The document allows for automatic annual renewals, potentially extending the contract beyond the initial three-year period. Although specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the broad quantity ranges (10 to 15,000 units) and multiple material types suggest a potentially significant contract value. The procurement is open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications outlined in Attachments A and B, which provide detailed requirements for flowable fill materials and Portland Cement Concrete. Vendors must demonstrate capabilities in precise material sourcing, mix design submission, and adherence to strict construction and quality control standards.
