RFQ 2023-85 Aggregate Rock

Clackamas County, Oregon, issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) #2023-85 for Aggregate Rock Products, seeking competitive market prices for various rock materials to be used by the County Transportation Maintenance Division and other county departments. The procurement focuses on obtaining crushed rock, rip rap, sand, and topsoil on an as-needed basis, with materials required to meet Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. The contract period was initially planned from November 1, 2023, through December 21, 2026, with contractors permitted to request pricing adjustments twice annually during specific 10-day windows in April and November. Quotes were originally due on November 9, 2023, at 2:00 PM PST and were to be submitted electronically via the Bid Locker portal. However, the solicitation was subsequently cancelled to update the Scope of Work requirements, with plans to republish at a later date. The county reserved the right to award multiple contracts, typically selecting contractors based on the best price and closest proximity to project sites, with pricing to be quoted per ton and FOB the supplier's site.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the provided documents. The RFQ did not mention disadvantaged enterprise requirements or list incumbent vendors. While the procurement was open to aggregate rock suppliers capable of meeting ODOT specifications, no specific organizational constraints were outlined. The potential award value was not precisely defined, though the multi-year contract suggests a substantial procurement opportunity for rock and aggregate materials across Clackamas County and Oregon City. The cancellation notice indicates that the county intends to refine the solicitation's scope, which may impact future pricing structures, contract terms, or qualification requirements. Interested vendors should monitor future republication of the RFQ to understand updated specifications and procurement details.
