Statewide Gravel and Rock Delivery

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for a statewide procurement of construction materials, specifically focusing on gravel, rock, sand, rip-rap, traffic bond, roadway/pathway materials, and medium to large size boulders. This procurement is designed to establish one-year contracts with potential for four additional one-year extensions, allowing for flexibility in vendor selection and geographic coverage. The DNR will consider multiple bidders and offers the unique option for vendors to bid exclusively within their local service areas based on their specific capabilities. The solicitation was posted on August 13, 2025, with a bid submission deadline of September 24, 2025. Potential vendors will need to demonstrate their ability to provide high-quality aggregate materials and meet the DNR's specific delivery and quality requirements for various infrastructure and construction projects.

While the solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, the procurement appears structured to accommodate vendors of varying sizes and geographic capabilities. The contract allows for localized bidding, which could potentially benefit smaller, regional suppliers who may have geographic or logistical advantages. The DNR has not disclosed specific budget ranges or estimated contract values in the provided documentation. Multiple awards are anticipated, suggesting a competitive procurement process that aims to establish a robust supply chain for essential construction materials across Wisconsin. Interested vendors should carefully review the full RFB documentation to understand the complete scope of requirements, submission guidelines, and evaluation criteria for this statewide materials procurement opportunity.
