Supply, Transport, deliver aggragate

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) is soliciting bids for a granite stone delivery and spreading project for the Coosawhatchie Heritage Preserve/Wildlife Management Area located in Jasper and Hampton Counties. The procurement opportunity requires a contractor to supply, transport, and tailgate spread approximately 1,585 tons of 1.5" granite crusher run stone (1" ROC) across 10-12' wide roads at a depth of approximately 4", with no piles exceeding 12" high. Contractors must provide weight tickets for each load and be registered in the South Carolina Enterprise Information System (SCEIS). The bid is scheduled to be opened on June 3, 2025, at 10:00 am EST, with a contract term running from June 4, 2025, to June 30, 2025. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with unit prices taking precedence over extended prices. Bidders must submit bids online or via hard copy and comply with state regulations, including providing necessary licenses, permits, and meeting insurance and tax requirements.

The solicitation includes several preference options for South Carolina-based vendors, specifically Resident Vendor Preference, Resident Contractor Preference, and Resident Subcontractor Preferences. These provisions may provide advantages to local businesses participating in the bidding process. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the project will be funded through the state's procurement system with a fixed pricing structure and potential for electronic funds transfer payments. Contractors will need to demonstrate compliance with state procurement regulations and provide proof of appropriate business credentials. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and logistical requirements of delivering and spreading the specified granite stone across the designated wildlife management area roads.
