Plant Mix 561036ITQ

The Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS) on behalf of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ 561036ITQ 17-02) for Bituminous Materials, Plant Mix specifically targeting Armstrong County. This procurement is exclusively available to pre-qualified suppliers who have previously been identified on the Bituminous Materials Counties of Interest Form for the statewide Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) contract. The primary deliverable is the supply of 1,200 tons of asphalt SP19MM with a specified delivery rate of 75 tons per hour and 300 tons per day, with a minimum delivery period of 7,803 tons. Suppliers are required to submit fixed pricing for material delivery to specified locations corresponding to their previously identified counties of interest. The evaluation criteria will be based on identifying the lowest responsive and responsible bidder per individual job number or group of job numbers, regardless of manufacturing process. The RFQ requires quotes to be submitted via email by 2:00 PM local time on April 4, 2017, with the purchase order set to expire on May 19, 2017, and potentially extended by mutual agreement until December 1, 2017.

This procurement opportunity has specific restrictions, primarily that only pre-qualified suppliers can participate, effectively limiting new market entrants. The Commonwealth reserves the right to have truck deliveries independently weighed and may issue penalties or redirect orders if a supplier cannot meet delivery schedules. Suppliers are not obligated to submit quotes for all job numbers and must comply with the Commonwealth's Contractor Integrity Provisions, which include maintaining high ethical standards, avoiding conflicts of interest, and adhering to anti-discrimination policies. While specific award values are not explicitly detailed, the contract appears to be structured for ongoing bituminous material procurement with potential for extensions. Vendors must provide their company name, SAP vendor number, contact information, and have an authorized representative submit price quotes. The contract includes provisions for potential night and weekend work, suggesting flexibility in delivery requirements.
