On call concrete - kershaw

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for an on-call concrete supply contract specifically targeting Kershaw County. This procurement seeks bids for various concrete products including Class 5000 Patch Mix, Class 5000 Accelerator Dosing, Class 5000 No Fly Ash, 3000 PSI Grout, Non-Excavatable and Excavatable Flowable Fill, and Maximum and Minimum Retarder products. The solicitation covers approximately 1,050 yards of concrete products and 200 units of grout and environmental fees, with all deliveries required within 24 to 48 hours of purchase order receipt. Bidders must submit online through the South Carolina procurement website by April 29, 2020, at 2:30 PM, with questions due by April 22, 2020, at noon. The initial contract term is set for one year, from May 19, 2021, through May 18, 2022. Evaluation will be based on lowest bid, determined by summing extended prices across line items, with bidders required to comply with South Carolina end-product and resident vendor preferences.

The contract requires bidders to possess a state vendor number and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, along with Worker's Compensation insurance as mandated by South Carolina law. All concrete products must comply with SCDOT's 2007 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, specifically sections 210 and 701, and adhere to Qualified Products Lists (QPL) 28 and 31. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the solicitation indicates a preference for South Carolina resident vendors. The procurement draws from a qualified ready-mix concrete plant list featuring approximately 40 producer companies across South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina, with certifications valid through early 2023. Though a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the concrete supply requirements and the multi-county scope suggest a potentially significant annual procurement opportunity for qualified concrete suppliers.
