Recycled RAP (Recycled Asphalt Pavement)

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has issued a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for Recycled Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) for District 2, specifically targeting the procurement of processed recycled asphalt materials for stockpiled cold lay mix. The solicitation covers 11 line items totaling 6,250 tons of RAP, with quantities ranging from 250 to 2,000 tons per line item, to be delivered by the end of June 2025. Contractors are required to process RAP materials by sizing the reclaimed asphalt to a maximum of 3/4 inch, removing contaminants, and mixing with appropriate asphalt emulsion to create a workable material suitable for immediate use or future stockpiling. Key technical requirements include having material sizing units, mixing units with belt scales and liquid metering devices, and implementing quality control oversight. The bid event is open from March 18, 2025, to April 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT, with all materials to be shipped to the District 2 Office in Salina, Kansas. Bidders must submit electronic bids to procurement@ks.gov and must be officially invited to the event, requiring contact with the procurement officer at least 24 hours before the bid closing.

The solicitation includes provisions for potential bidder preferences, specifically highlighting opportunities for Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses and other state-defined preference programs. Political subdivisions such as cities, counties, and school districts are permitted to utilize the resulting contract, though the state assumes no responsibility for their payments. Bidders must obtain a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue and submit it with their bid response. The procurement allows for broad participation but requires compliance with state anti-discrimination provisions and certifications regarding immigration reform and telecommunications equipment procurement. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the total volume of 6,250 tons suggests a substantial contract opportunity. Bidders must use US dollars exclusively, and the event is designed to ensure competitive pricing and quality of recycled asphalt pavement materials for KDOT's District 2 infrastructure needs. The contract appears to be structured to support multiple county jurisdictions, with a particular focus on Ford County and surrounding areas in Kansas.
