Redi Mix Concrete

Portage County, Wisconsin is seeking competitive bids to establish a ready-mix concrete supply contract through its Purchasing Department for delivery to various Highway Department projects and job sites. The procurement encompasses ready-mix concrete for concrete pavement, pavement repairs and replacements, curb and gutter, sidewalk construction, and other appurtenant concrete work. Bidders must submit unit prices for multiple concrete grades and types (Grade A, A2, A3, C, and SHES), including pricing for fiber-reinforced, high early strength, cold weather, and small load variations, with all prices required to include transportation and same-day delivery to job sites. Qualified bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience in the ready-mix concrete business and provide three references from comparable-sized institutions. All concrete materials and batch plants must conform to Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) current Section 415, 416, and 501 Standard Specifications and require WisDOT approval. The award shall be made to the lowest net unit price per item from a responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with timeliness of delivery serving as a secondary evaluation criterion. The bid submission deadline is 2:00 PM on March 24, 2026, with an original and one copy of all required documents to be submitted to the Portage County Purchasing Department at 1462 Strongs Ave, Stevens Point, WI 54481; questions from bidders must be submitted by March 12, 2026, and a public bid opening will be held at the submission address.

The contract shall commence from the date of award through December 31, 2026, with three one-year renewal options available by mutual agreement. Awarded contractors must maintain a Certificate of Insurance with minimum coverage of one million dollars for liability, bodily injury, property damage, and products liability, plus comprehensive motor vehicle insurance for all owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles. The County utilizes electronic signatures through DocuSign for contract execution at no cost to the bidder. Volume discounts are not considered in the award determination process but shall apply to orders issued under the contract once awarded. No set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information has been specified in the procurement documents. The bid documents do not provide a specific budget range or estimated award value, though the contract structure with multiple concrete grades, delivery requirements, and potential renewal options indicates a substantial procurement for the County's Highway Department operations.
