Ready-Mix Concrete

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is soliciting bids for a one-year ready-mix concrete supply contract covering the Hampton Roads District. This procurement seeks qualified firms to provide VDOT-approved concrete mixes on an as-needed basis, specifically including A-4 Modified Low Shrinkage, A-4 State Mix, A-3 State Mix, and Flowable Fill 30-200 concrete types. Bids must be submitted electronically through the eVA system by May 19, 2023, with pricing established per cubic yard and inclusive of all associated fees and incidentals. Concrete delivery will be directed by VDOT and must occur between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with potential timing adjustments to ensure concrete meets required specifications. The contract is designed to support various VDOT projects, with the vendor responsible for delivering concrete mixes that meet precise technical requirements. Bidders must be prepared to provide concrete as needed throughout the contract period, with VDOT reserving the right to modify delivery parameters to maintain project efficiency.

While the contract is not specifically set aside for any particular business classification, VDOT actively encourages participation from Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (DSBSD)-certified small and micro businesses. Potential contractors must be prepared to comply with subcontracting approval requirements, which mandate obtaining written VDOT consent before subcontracting any portion of the work. The primary contractor will remain fully liable for subcontractor performance and must ensure complete compliance with all contract specifications. Payment terms are established at net 30 days, contingent upon submission of valid invoices and verification of satisfactory goods receipt. Although specific contract value ranges are not explicitly stated, the one-year contract suggests a potential for significant concrete supply volumes across VDOT project sites in the Hampton Roads District. Interested vendors should carefully review all documentation, particularly the subcontracting approval requirements and concrete mix specifications, to ensure full compliance with procurement guidelines.
