Treated Bridge Deck Timbers

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of treated bridge deck timbers. The solicitation seeks qualified firms to furnish and deliver the treated timbers to three bridge offices located in Chatham, Dillwyn, and Rustburg. The required quantities and detailed specifications are provided in the IFB documents. The contract period is from the date of award through September 27, 2024, and the contract will result in a single purchase order with an eVA transaction fee assessed for each order. VDOT has also provided an approved list of 45 Qualified Wood Treatment Plants that are authorized to supply the treated bridge deck timbers, which must meet VDOT's requirements as outlined in the Manual of Instructions and Road and Bridge specifications.

This procurement opportunity is set aside for award priority to DSBSD-certified micro businesses or small businesses, including DSBSD-certified women-owned and minority-owned businesses, provided their bids are deemed fair and reasonable. The contract value or budget range is not specified in the available information, but the IFB requires bidders to provide firm unit prices. There are no incumbent vendors or current contractors mentioned, and the solicitation does not indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
