UIFB# 161004 CMP & Bands

The Virginia Department of Transportation is soliciting bids under UIFB #161004 to furnish and deliver galvanized and polymer-coated corrugated metal pipe and connecting bands to the Christiansburg Residency in Willis, Virginia, with bids due June 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The solicitation carries a set-aside for award priority to DSBSD-certified micro businesses or small businesses: the lowest responsive and responsible micro business bid receives consideration if under $10,000 and deemed fair and reasonable, or the lowest responsive small business bid if not exceeding $100,000 and deemed fair and reasonable; otherwise award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder of any size.

Only pipe manufactured by VDOT-approved manufacturers listed on Approved Materials List No. 25 will be accepted; all pipe must conform to Section 232 of the 2020 VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications and the 2016 Road and Bridge Standard PCI 107.7. Manufacturer certifications are required for each delivery. Bids must include all costs for furnishing and delivery — materials, manufacturing, overhead, freight, and delivery charges. Quantities are not specified; individual purchase orders will determine quantities post-award.

The contract period runs from award date through July 31, 2026 and is non-renewable. Delivery must be completed by July 15, 2026, with the contractor responsible for scheduling deliveries during normal working hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) and providing 24-hour advanced notification. The bid form requires identification of manufacturers and shipping points for each item, declaration of plastic materials content and recycled-content percentages, and normal and emergency contact information. Bids are submitted electronically via eVA; the eVA vendor transaction fee is 1 percent of order value, capped at $500 for DSBSD-certified small businesses and $1,500 for other businesses. Payment is made within 30 days of invoice receipt and verification of goods received. No pre-bid conference will be held; questions should be directed to contract officer Patty Harvey.
