Trail Aggregate

The Kansas Adjutant General's Office is seeking a contract for Trail Aggregate to be delivered and spread at the KSARNG Range Complex in Lindsborg, Kansas. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) soliciting a contractor to provide and deliver a specific aggregate mixture consisting of 75% 1.5" Hard Granite Road rock and 25% coarse road sand. The contractor will be responsible for delivering, spreading, and documenting the aggregate on designated trails using their own equipment, operators, and fuel. Key deliverables include precise documentation through weight tickets, complete trail coverage according to the provided aerial map, and adherence to specified material composition. The bid event opens on January 15, 2025, with questions due by February 10, 2025, and final bids due on February 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The contract term spans from the award date through February 28, 2028, with an optional 24-month renewal period. Bidders must submit unit pricing per ton for the rock/sand mixture, delivery charges, and spreading services, with an overall project maximum of $25,000.00.

The procurement includes preferences for Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses and allows political subdivisions to potentially utilize the contract under the same terms and conditions. Bidders must obtain an official invitation to participate at least 24 hours before the bid closing and provide a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue. The bid does not require a bid guarantee and offers potential payment via State of Kansas Procurement Card. While no specific set-aside percentages are explicitly detailed, the solicitation indicates a preference for qualifying bidder categories as established by the Kansas Legislature. Potential respondents must submit bids electronically to procurement@ks.gov or by mail/hand delivery, with delivery of the aggregate scheduled by March 2, 2025, to the Procurement and Contracts office in Topeka, Kansas. The jurisdictions identified in the opportunity include Sedgwick County and Long Island City, though the primary project location is the KSARNG Range Complex in Lindsborg.
