The solicitation requires the delivery of 2,000 tons of crusher run material that must meet specific SCDOT specifications, including an LA abrasion rating of 40 or less and no material larger than 2 inches in size. The material will be spread on gravel roads located 3-12 miles from paved roads within the SCDNR Jocassee Gorges boundary. The minimum daily delivery requirement is 100 tons, with a maximum of 2 working days notice required for delivery dates. Key deadlines include bid submissions due by February 4, 2025, at 10:00 am EST, with vendor questions accepted until January 23, 2025. The contract term runs from February 5, 2025, through June 16, 2025, with all deliveries required to be completed before the end date.

The solicitation includes multiple South Carolina vendor preferences, specifically resident vendor, resident contractor, and resident subcontractor preferences of 2% and 4%. Bidders must be registered as a South Carolina vendor to be eligible to submit an offer and will need to provide pricing as a total cost per ton, including delivery and spreading. Electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments will be utilized for this contract. No specific set-asides or designated disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation allows for submissions through either a hard copy or the SCEIS online portal system. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the total project volume is 2,000 tons of crusher run material. Vendors must be prepared to handle the logistical requirements of delivering and spreading material in a remote wilderness management area, with potential challenges related to access and terrain.
