Steel Beams

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to procure steel beams for the Division 14, Cherokee Bridge Maintenance yard to support upcoming timber bridge replacements and projects. The IFB requires vendors to furnish and deliver the steel beams, which must conform to NCDOT standards and be from an NCDOT-approved producer. Bids are due by May 24, 2024 at 2:00 PM ET, and the award will be made to the responsive bidder offering the lowest price that meets the specified requirements. The required delivery time is within 60 consecutive calendar days after receipt of the purchase order to the Cherokee Bridge Maintenance location in Marble, NC.

The IFB includes provisions related to historically underutilized businesses (HUB) participation, location of workers, and potential price matching under Executive Order 50. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and no information is provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors. The IFB does not specify a budget range, but this is a one-time purchase contract to furnish and deliver the required steel beams.
