Trap Rock, Grade 4T, 5T and 6T

Travis County Purchasing Office is soliciting bids through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 073-TM for Trap Rock Grade 4T, 5T, and 6T aggregate materials to be delivered to multiple county job sites. The procurement seeks to establish a one-year contract with potential extensions up to 63 months total, allowing delivery of trap rock to seven specified locations including service centers, parks, cemeteries, and roadways. Technical specifications detail precise requirements for particle size, durability, color, and composition for each trap rock grade. Bids must be submitted electronically through BidNet or via mail, with the bid opening scheduled for a specific date, and pricing required to remain firm for 120 days. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price, estimated quantity contract with unit prices encompassing all associated costs such as labor, materials, travel, and equipment. Individual purchase orders will be issued against the contract, with estimated quantities based on past consumption patterns.

The contract is race-neutral and does not establish specific Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting goals. Bidders must complete various certifications, including a Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) for contracts exceeding $50,000. The solicitation includes comprehensive insurance requirements with specified minimum coverage levels for workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and pollution/environmental insurance. Cooperative purchasing is permitted, allowing other governmental entities to potentially purchase goods under the same contract terms. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the contract enables flexible purchasing through individual purchase orders based on Travis County's ongoing aggregate material needs. The bid allows for cooperative purchasing, which could potentially expand the contract's economic value beyond initial county requirements.
