The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) is seeking bids for a project to provide and deliver granite crusher run aggregate for road maintenance at two wildlife management areas (WMAs) in Hampton and Jasper Counties. The solicitation requires the delivery and tailgate spreading of 1,800 tons of 1.5" granite crusher-run stone at the Webb WMA complex and 3,650 tons at the Coosawhatchie HP/WMA site. Contractors must spread the stone on roads 10-12 feet wide to a depth of approximately 4 inches, with no piles exceeding 12 inches in height. The SCDNR will prepare the road subgrade before delivery and finish grading after spreading. Key deliverables include providing weight tickets for each load and coordinating delivery dates with the site manager. The solicitation timeline requires questions to be submitted by November 26, 2024, with bids due by December 3, 2024. The contract term is five months from the effective date, with all work to be completed no later than June 30, 2025. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with unit prices governing over extended prices in bid evaluation. The solicitation offers several procurement preferences for South Carolina-based vendors and contractors. Bidders can claim preferences for South Carolina resident vendors, South Carolina end products, US end products, and resident subcontractor preferences (2% or 4%). Contractors must submit documentation to support any claimed preferences, and substitutions of non-qualifying end products are prohibited if the award is based on these preferences. Vendors must maintain proper licenses and permits throughout the contract term and comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The state reserves the right to terminate the contract for convenience. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the procurement involves approximately 5,450 total tons of granite crusher-run stone. Pricing must remain firm for the duration of the contract, with unit prices to be submitted per ton and including all delivery and spreading costs. The procurement is managed by Andy Bowman, CPPB, from the SCDNR's procurement office located at 1000 Assembly Street, Columbia, SC 29201.
