Redi-mix concrete

The City of Flint, Michigan, through its Finance Department of Purchases & Supplies, is soliciting sealed bids for redi-mix concrete services for the Street Maintenance, Traffic Engineering, and Water Service Center departments. The procurement covers a two-year contract period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, with requirements for 30 different concrete mix types including various strengths, additives, and expansion materials. Bidders must submit proposals by June 2, 2025, at 12:00 P.M. EST, with specific submission requirements of one original signed proposal, one unbound copy, and one electronic copy. The city requires concrete delivery within 2 hours' notice to various city locations, with the ability to deliver on weekdays and Saturdays. Evaluation criteria will focus on price, product availability, location, and quality, with the city reserving the right to award on an individual line-item basis and potentially add or delete items from the contract. Vendors must provide F.O.B. destination pricing with full freight allowed and inside delivery, and disclose any additional fees such as environmental fees, wash-out fees, fuel surcharges, and Saturday delivery charges.

The bid documents do not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged businesses. The contract appears to be open to qualified concrete suppliers who can meet the city's detailed specifications and delivery requirements. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the procurement allows for flexible pricing with firms required to submit pricing for both Year 1 and Year 2, with prices to remain firm throughout the contract period. The concrete requirements span a wide range of mix types and strengths, suggesting potential significant volume for the selected vendor(s). Although a specific total contract value is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the bid and the multiple departments involved indicate a potentially substantial procurement opportunity. The city's approach suggests they are seeking a reliable, responsive concrete supplier capable of meeting diverse municipal infrastructure and maintenance needs across multiple service departments.
