Roadside Materials, Release and Delivery as Required - New Haven

The Macomb County Department of Roads has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ-25-18) for roadside materials to be delivered to the New Haven Service Center, seeking three specific materials: Soil Cover Cellulose with Tack (144 bags), Highway Roadside Mix Grass Seed (2,000 lbs), and 25-0-15 Fertilizer (2,450 lbs). The procurement is structured for release and delivery between April 22, 2025, and October 31, 2025, with vendors required to submit bids online through the Michigan Inter-governmental Trade Network (MITN) website by April 22, 2025, prior to 11:00 AM EDT. Delivery specifications mandate an open bed truck capable of unloading with a forklift at 58270 William St., New Haven, MI 48048, with freight costs to be included in the unit cost. The county reserves the right to split purchases by line item and does not guarantee fixed quantities, indicating potential flexibility in order volumes. Vendors must complete online submission through www.MITN.info by selecting "Bid Opportunities" and searching for solicitation RFQ-25-18, with technical support available through BidNet at 1-800-835-4603 (option 2).

The procurement documents do not explicitly mention set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on respondent types. There are no references to incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements. The fertilizer specification provides detailed technical requirements, including 50% slow-release nitrogen, 2% iron, and zero phosphorus, with each 50 lb bag designed to cover 12,500 sq. ft. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the solicitation covers materials procurement with quantities that suggest a moderate-scale project. The county's procurement approach indicates an open competitive process, welcoming qualified vendors who can meet the specified material and delivery requirements. Technical capabilities, pricing, and ability to meet delivery specifications will likely be key evaluation criteria for potential award.
