Provide & deliver limestone to multple

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) is seeking bids for the procurement and delivery of limestone to multiple boat landings and locations across South Carolina, specifically targeting seven sites including Port Royal Boat Landing, Edgar Glenn Boat Landing, Broad River Boat Landing, Steamboat Creek Boat Landing, Bowens Island Restaurant, B & B Seafood, and Garris Landing. The solicitation requires vendors to supply up to 1,200 tons of #4 limestone, with specific tonnage requirements for each location ranging from 100 to 400 tons. Vendors must possess tractor trailers, dump trucks, or hauling trailers with a minimum 20-ton capacity and dumping capabilities, and must coordinate trucking and delivery based on SCDNR's shellfish ground management planting schedule. The procurement timeline includes key dates such as February 21, 2025, at 12:00 Noon EST for question submissions, and March 4, 2025, at 10:00 am EST for bid submissions, with contract award posting on the same day. Evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with vendors required to provide a fixed price per ton including delivery for each specified location.

The solicitation offers multiple vendor preferences, including SC Resident Vendor Preference, US/SC End-Product Preference, and Resident Contractor/Subcontractor Preferences, which may provide additional advantages to qualifying vendors. While no pre-bid conference is required, vendors must demonstrate capability to meet the specific delivery and logistical requirements. The contract will have a one-year term, running from March 5, 2025, to March 4, 2026, with potential for future extensions or renewals. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the total procurement volume of 1,200 tons suggests a significant contract value. The procurement is specifically focused on Barnwell County and surrounding areas, with SCDNR seeking to support state and public shellfish ground management through this limestone supply contract. Interested vendors should carefully review the solicitation document and ensure they can meet all technical and logistical specifications to be considered for award.
