The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is soliciting bids for an on-call, three-year contract to furnish and deliver various construction materials throughout Kershaw County, with the contract period running from 06/16/2025 to 06/15/2028. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for multiple line items covering materials such as class 5000 and 3000 patch mix, accelerator dosing, non-excavatable and excavatable flowable fill, and maximum and minimum retarder. The solicitation includes 31 detailed line items with specific technical specifications for concrete and flowable fill materials, emphasizing precise mix designs, compressive strength requirements, and placement techniques. Bids are due on 05/27/2025 at 2:30 PM, with submissions accepted through the SCEIS system or by mail/drop-off, and bidders have the option to attend the bid opening virtually or in-person. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with quantities noted as best estimates and potential for price adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index after the initial term.

The solicitation encourages minority business participation and requires bidders to disclose any minority business certifications or subcontractor arrangements. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications outlined in Attachments A and B, which detail rigorous standards for Portland cement concrete and flowable fill materials. The technical specifications include precise requirements for cement types, water sources, aggregates, admixtures, and concrete classes ranging from 2500 to 5000, with comprehensive guidelines for materials, mix design, and construction methods. Payment will be calculated at 100% of the contract unit bid price, with potential price reductions for non-conforming concrete cylinders. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the three-year on-call contract structure suggests flexibility in procurement volume and potential spending, with unit pricing serving as the primary cost determination mechanism.
