MODIFIED CHIP ROCK 3/8" to No. 4

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) North Central Region is seeking quotes for a procurement of aggregate materials, specifically 5,000 tons of Modified Chip Rock with 3/8" to No. 4 gradation and 650 tons of No. 4 - 0 Choke material (equivalent to concrete sand). This Request for Quotes (RFQ) targets vendors located within a 50-mile radius of Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Kittitas, and Okanogan counties. The rock material must have at least two fractured faces, and vendors are required to conduct 1 sample test per 1,000 tons produced. Quotes are due by December 13, 2024, at 4:00 PM, with an anticipated award date of December 19, 2024. The contract term will run from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, with potential yearly extensions up to two additional years. Materials must be available to WSDOT no later than March 1, 2025, and vendors must submit pricing for each plant location if rates differ between facilities.

The procurement has specific set-aside provisions favoring Washington State small businesses and veteran-owned businesses. WSDOT will separately award bids for chip rock and choke material to encourage small business participation. Evaluation criteria will prioritize the lowest responsive and responsible bid from qualifying vendors. The total estimated contract value is $150,000 or less, with WSDOT planning to pick up materials directly from the vendor's plant location. Vendors must demonstrate their ability to produce and supply the specified materials, provide accurate pricing, and meet the required testing and quality standards. No incumbent vendors were specified in the documentation, and no existing infrastructure integration requirements were mentioned beyond the material delivery specifications.
