Landfill Drainage Stone

Franklin County, Virginia is requesting proposals for the supply and delivery of 26,000 tons of washed, non-calcium carbonate drainage stone to its landfill facility at 9340 Virgil H Goode Highway in Rocky Mount, with proposals due October 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a mandatory pre-proposal site inspection on September 28, 2026. The County encourages proposals from small businesses (SBE), minority-owned businesses (MBE), women-owned businesses (WBE), and service-disabled veteran businesses but does not impose a set-aside.

Stone must meet Virginia Department of Transportation Standard Road and Bridge Specifications Section 203 and ASTM C136 gradation requirements, with hydraulic conductivity of 1.0 cm/sec or greater. The material is #57 washed non-calcium carbonate stone, quoted on a delivered per-ton basis. Contractors may begin delivery and initial stockpiling of up to 20,000 tons after November 15, 2026, with the balance delivered during drainage layer construction by June 2028.

The 26,000-ton quantity is an estimate; final contract price is calculated on total tons delivered. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible submission based on available equipment, personnel, project experience, and ability to meet the required timeframe. Payment is made monthly for invoices received by the 10th of the month based on landfill-scale weight tickets. All contractors must obtain a Certificate of Insurance covering liability for workers and subcontractors; all haulers must carry a CDL designation. Proposals must remain eligible for 60 days. The site inspection at the landfill accommodates one-hour meeting slots by arrangement with Jeff Gauldin, Public Works Director. Electronic submissions are accepted via email to Corey.White@franklincountyva.gov.
