UIFB 159570 PCZ Steel Sheet Pilings

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is soliciting bids for steel sheet pilings through an Unsealed Invitation for Bids (UIFB #159570) for the Fredericksburg District/Saluda Residency. The procurement specifically requires 72 pieces of PZC18 Steel Sheet Piling, each 12 feet 6 inches long, and 4 PZ90 Steel Sheet Piling corners measuring 15 feet long, all constructed from ASTM A 572 Grade 60 hot rolled steel with handling holes in both ends. These materials are to be delivered to the VDOT Gloucester Area Headquarters located at 7048 Warehouse Road in Gloucester County, Virginia. Bids are due by 9:00 AM EST on February 25, 2025, with a required delivery timeline of 60 calendar days following the purchase order receipt. Delivery must occur Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 3:30 PM, with vendors required to provide 24-hour advance notice to the specified contact. No pre-bid conference will be scheduled, and the award will be made on a grand total basis, considering the total bid price and potential vendor qualifications.

The procurement includes specific provisions for disadvantaged business enterprises, with priority given to DSBSD-certified micro businesses for bids under $10,000 and DSBSD-certified small businesses for bids under $100,000, provided their bid prices are deemed fair and reasonable. Vendor transaction fees are structured at 1%, capped at $500 for DSBSD-certified small businesses and $1,500 for non-certified businesses for orders issued after July 1, 2014. Payment terms are set at net 30 days following receipt of a valid invoice, and no traffic control is required as the delivery will be made directly to a VDOT lot. While no specific budget range is mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears to be a targeted materials acquisition for infrastructure or construction purposes. The solicitation does not indicate the presence of incumbent vendors or require specific technology integration, focusing instead on the precise procurement of steel sheet pilings with clear material and delivery specifications.
