Road Materials

Socorro County is seeking sealed bids for road materials to be used in county-wide road improvement projects through Invitation to Bid (ITB) #2018-08-402. The procurement covers five specific material categories: Aggregate Chips, Cold Mix, Crusher Fines, Base Course, and Unclassified Fill. The bid was released on October 25, 2018, with proposals due by 11:00 AM Mountain Time on November 7, 2018, at the Socorro County Manager's Office. This is structured as a price agreement that may be utilized by Socorro County and potentially other state agencies and local public bodies in New Mexico. Bidders are required to submit a detailed bid package including specific forms and certifications, with the contract term spanning one year and potential automatic renewals for up to three additional one-year terms, not to exceed four years total. Evaluation of bids will be based on the submitted bid form, with the county reserving the right to award to the most responsive bidder offering the best value.

The procurement allows for both material-only and delivered pricing options, with opportunities for resident business and resident veteran business preferences through appropriate state certification. Bidders can qualify for preferential consideration by submitting documentation demonstrating New Mexico-based business status or veteran-owned business credentials. The solicitation follows New Mexico Procurement Code guidelines and includes provisions for equal opportunity employment and campaign contribution disclosures. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract is designed to accommodate ongoing road improvement needs across Socorro County. Bidders must comply with state and local regulations, and the procurement is open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the specified material requirements and delivery specifications. The county maintains flexibility in awarding contracts, potentially selecting multiple vendors or a single provider based on the most advantageous proposal.
