Plant Mix 561036ITQ

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ 561036ITQ 16-06) for Bituminous Materials, Plant Mix, specifically targeting qualified suppliers already approved under the Bituminous Materials, Plant Mix ITQ (561036ITQ) contract. This procurement is focused on obtaining various types of asphalt materials for highway maintenance and construction purposes, with the opportunity covering multiple counties, including Adams County. The RFQ requires suppliers to submit fixed pricing for bituminous materials delivery to specific locations corresponding to their previously identified Counties of Interest. Vendors are permitted to submit prices for individual job numbers but are not obligated to quote on all job numbers. The evaluation criteria will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, determined by total price per individual job number or group, irrespective of manufacturing process. The critical submission deadline is July 5, 2016, at 2:00 PM local time, with quotes to be submitted via email. The initial purchase order will expire on August 19, 2016, though potential extensions may be negotiated between the awarded supplier and the Commonwealth.

This procurement opportunity is exclusively available to pre-qualified suppliers who have already been vetted and approved on the Bituminous Materials Counties of Interest Form, effectively restricting new or uninitiated vendors from participating. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The contract allows for flexibility in ordering, with the Department retaining the right to order up to 50% over the estimated quantities. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, the bid sheet indicates this is a job-specific contract with specific material requirements including various asphalt types and tonnages. The total contract value is not definitively stated, but the bid sheet includes pricing information with unit prices and total prices for different material items. The procurement spans multiple PennDOT districts, as evidenced by the attached district map, suggesting a potentially significant statewide infrastructure maintenance initiative.
