Sand, Soils and Aggregates

NC State University's Procurement & Business Services is seeking quotes for a blanket purchase order for sand, soils, and aggregates through RFQ #63-DMP1086114R1, targeting materials for various campus construction and landscaping needs. The procurement covers multiple material types including wash stone, crusher run, riprap, double and triple washed sand, screened topsoil, soil conditioners, bioretention soil, and recycled bio-retention media. The contract will be for an initial one-year period with potential for four additional one-year renewals, with multiple vendor awards anticipated. Quotes are due on May 19, 2025, at 5:00 PM, with vendor questions required to be submitted by May 12, 2025, at 12:00 PM. Vendors must provide pricing inclusive of shipping and miscellaneous charges, with no additional fees permitted. Delivery expectations include campus locations in Raleigh between 6:00 am and 1:30 pm, Monday through Friday, with a required delivery turnaround of 1-2 business days after order placement.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must maintain commercial insurance meeting the university's requirements and will be subject to strict performance standards, including potential order cancellations or delivery refusals for non-compliant materials. Price increases are strictly limited to 3% or current Consumer Price Index (CPI), with only one increase permitted annually and requiring 60-day advance written notification. While no specific budget range is detailed, the open-ended nature of the blanket purchase order suggests flexibility in potential transaction volumes. NC State University reserves the right to add additional vendors during the contract term if insufficient qualified vendors are available to ensure competitive pricing. The procurement approach suggests an intent to establish a flexible, responsive supply chain for ongoing campus infrastructure and landscaping material needs.
