Provide & deliver limestone & granite

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) has issued an Invitation for Bid solicitation for procuring limestone and granite/plantation mix materials across three Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs): Donnelley WMA, Bear Island WMA, and Botany Bay Plantation. The procurement requires the delivery of 700 tons of FLBC Limestone (crush & run) rock and 580 tons of 1/2" Granite/Plantation mix, with specific distribution requirements: 300 tons of limestone to Donnelley WMA, 300 tons to Bear Island WMA, and 100 tons to Botany Bay Plantation; and 140 tons of granite/plantation mix to Bear Island WMA, 300 tons to Botany Bay Plantation, and 140 tons to Donnelley WMA. The solicitation was issued on 4/1/2025, with bids due by 4/22/2025 at 10:00 am EST, and the contract term estimated to run from 4/23/2025 to 6/30/2025. Bidders must submit unit prices for each line item and can potentially claim various state preferences. The award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the total bid amount calculated by multiplying unit prices by quantities and applying applicable preferences. Electronic bid submission is highly recommended through the South Carolina Enterprise Information System (SCEIS).

The procurement includes several set-aside preferences and considerations, such as Resident Vendor Preference, Resident Contractor Preference, Resident Subcontractor Preference, and SC/US End-Product Preferences. Vendors must be registered and comply with state tax requirements and minority business participation guidelines. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement appears to be state-funded and focused on supporting infrastructure maintenance for wildlife management areas. Bidders will need to demonstrate capability in material sourcing, transportation, and precise delivery specifications across multiple locations. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with state regulations and provides opportunities for vendors to claim various preference designations that could impact bid evaluation. No incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, and the procurement appears to be an open competitive bidding process seeking qualified suppliers of limestone and granite materials for state conservation and management purposes.
