Rock and Base Materials

Wise County is requesting sealed bids for rock and base materials for road construction applications under ITB #27-BID-013, with bids due September 3, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. central time at the Wise County Asset Control Office in Decatur, Texas. The County reserves the right to award contracts to qualified local bidders within three percent of the lowest bid and may co-award contracts.

The scope includes #1 Flex Base, specialty bases, washed rock in multiple sizes, rip rap in three dimensions, chip seal rock in multiple grades and sizes, minus base materials, gabion/oversized rock, and pea gravel in various gradations. All products must meet Texas Department of Transportation 2024 Edition Standard Specifications, including detailed gradations and sieve analysis requirements. Bidders must disclose all ancillary costs — freight, fuel surcharges, and overtime rates — within the purchase price and provide vendor product names matching the County's billing nomenclature and plant locations for material sourcing.

The contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 and may be canceled by either party with 30 days written notice. No predetermined purchase quantities are guaranteed; all purchases will be based on actual County needs, which are seasonal. Pricing must remain firm for sixty-day increments with provisions for price adjustments based on documented changes in liquid asphalt costs from suppliers. Invoices will be paid on a net 30 basis. Wise County reserves the right to award contracts individually by respective Commissioners as ex officio Precinct Road and Bridge Commissioners based on bidder pricing and proximity to job sites. Bids must be submitted on unmodified County forms, originally signed, with required affidavits and price forms. All bidders must comply with Texas Government Code Section 2270.002 regarding Israel boycott certification. Anticipated orders beyond the current fiscal year remain subject to budget approval.
