Dane County does not extend local vendor purchasing preferences to concrete bids, meaning this procurement is open to all qualified bidders without set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or other restricted categories. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. Bidders must submit a completed W9 form and Certificate of Insurance prior to contract execution, and all vendors are required to provide plant location information including facility names, street addresses, phone numbers, and hours of operation for all plants that will service the contract. The solicitation does not specify a stated budget range or award value; rather, the County intends to award based on competitive bidding with emphasis on the lowest responsive bid. Bidders must complete all designated cells in the Microsoft Excel price proposal form and enter "no bid" for any line items they are not bidding on, with separate pricing schedules required for both weekday and Saturday rates.
