Union County DSA

PennDOT District 3 is seeking a procurement of 9,700 tons of Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA) for a road resurfacing project in Union County, Pennsylvania, specifically on State Route 1010. The project is being conducted under the Dirt and Gravel Roads Program and requires DSA material that strictly adheres to specifications outlined in PennDOT Publication 447 (MS-045-0004). The material must be sourced from a Bulletin 14 approved producer and will be delivered directly to the Department paver on site, with an estimated delivery timeframe of mid-September 2016. This is a paper solicitation process, with sealed paper bids being the only acceptable submission method. Interested vendors must obtain a bid packet by contacting the specified procurement contact, and all materials will be subject to rigorous on-site inspection and approval by the PennDOT Laboratory Testing Section. The bid submission deadline is August 24, 2016, and the contract allows for potential extension up to one year from the initial award date.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors who can meet the stringent material specifications. The contract does not indicate any restrictions on vendor type or size, focusing instead on technical compliance with DSA material standards. The procurement appears to be a standard competitive bid process with emphasis on material quality and delivery capabilities. Though no specific budget range is provided, the project involves approximately 9,700 tons of aggregate material, suggesting a potential contract value in the moderate range. The contract is specifically focused on supplying DSA for a localized road improvement project in Union County, with the primary evaluation criteria centered on material specification compliance, delivery capability, and adherence to PennDOT Publication 447 requirements.
