Plant Mix 561036ITQ

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ 561036ITQ 15-02) for bituminous materials and plant mix procurement specifically targeting Armstrong County and other jurisdictions across the state. This procurement is limited to pre-qualified suppliers already approved under the Bituminous Materials, Plant Mix ITQ contract. The solicitation seeks vendors to provide hot mix asphalt (HMA) or warm mix asphalt (WMA) materials, with daily delivery quantities ranging from 100 to 400 tons. Vendors must submit quotes via email by April 7, 2015, at 2:00 PM, with purchase orders valid for jobs started by May 22, 2015. Bidders are required to identify their Supplier Code listed in Bulletin 41 and specify their approved material source for each job. The evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing awarded on a FOB Job Specific or FOB Group Jobs basis.

The RFQ has strict qualification requirements, specifically excluding vendors not already pre-qualified under the existing Bituminous Materials Counties of Interest Form. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were identified in the documentation. The contract allows PennDOT to order up to 50% more than estimated quantities at the bid prices, providing flexibility in material procurement. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the solicitation covers material supply across 66 Pennsylvania counties and Philadelphia. Vendors must be prepared to provide detailed pricing information, including unit pricing per ton, total estimated tonnage, and specific plant location details. The contract appears to be a recurring procurement mechanism for road maintenance and construction materials, with a focus on standardized material supply across multiple PennDOT districts.
