Liquefied Asphalt Emulsions - OTC -2025

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and Department of Administration Purchasing Division are seeking bids for a one-year contract (ITB No. 80DOT-S3120) to supply liquefied asphalt emulsions across various Nevada districts and zones. The procurement covers multiple asphalt product types, including medium and slow curing products, cationic emulsified asphalts, latex modified rapid setting emulsified asphalt, and polymer modified pavement sealants. Vendors must have plant locations within a 50-mile radius of specified stations, with an exception for Tonopah, which will pick up product in Las Vegas. The contract requires a minimum load of 24 tons per delivery, with 24-hour advance notice required for orders. Pricing must be quoted per ton, excluding federal taxes, and include all applicable discounts. The solicitation includes an escalation clause allowing price adjustments based on bi-weekly asphalt cement price indices when fluctuations exceed 10%. The bid is due on February 28, 2025, and will be submitted through the NevadaEPro procurement system, with strict adherence to submission deadlines and detailed quote instructions.

The contract offers potential opportunities for Nevada-based and veteran-owned businesses, with specific preference points available. A 5% preference is granted to Nevada-based businesses that certify a majority of goods are produced in the state. Additional preferences include 5% for local businesses owned by veterans with service-connected disabilities for contracts between $50,000-$250,000, and 5% for veteran-owned businesses with 50%+ disability rating for contracts between $250,000-$500,000. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a significant procurement opportunity. The contract is not exclusively for NDOT but allows other state agencies, cities, counties, and political subdivisions to place orders. Vendors must meet specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in automobile liability coverage, and comply with standard terms and conditions outlined in the procurement documents. The contract period is set for one year, with the potential for annual extensions as specified in the bid solicitation.
