Weld county chipseal oil supply

Weld County Public Works is seeking bids for a chipseal oil supply contract for the 2025 construction season, with the procurement targeting up to 226,303 gallons of chipseal oil and 19,250 gallons of fog seal. The solicitation requires vendors to have a plant location capable of delivering emulsified asphalt with 24-hour notice and the ability to load and scale materials at their facility. Bidders will be evaluated primarily on cost, with the county potentially purchasing materials from multiple vendors based on plant proximity to job sites. The bid encompasses multiple road segments across Weld County, including areas near Johnstown, Greeley, Milliken, and Firestone, covering approximately 17 different road segments and intersections. The contract will be for one year, with the possibility of two additional one-year renewals, and material cost adjustments will be considered annually using the ENR Cost Index and Denver-Aurora-Lakewood CPI index. Bids are due on April 28, 2025, by 11:00 AM, with the county selecting vendors based on the lowest cost while considering job-site location and hauling expenses. Vendors must provide scale tickets signed by a Weld County employee to validate material purchases.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability insurance, with Weld County named as an additional insured. The contract includes strict Build America, Buy America (BABA) compliance requirements, mandating that construction materials, manufactured products, and iron/steel products be predominantly produced in the United States. Specifically, steel/iron products must have all manufacturing processes occurring domestically, and manufactured products must have over 55% of component costs originating from U.S. sources. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project appears to be part of Weld County Public Works' ongoing infrastructure maintenance strategy. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the procurement covers approximately 245,553 total gallons of oil-based products, suggesting a significant investment in road maintenance and surface treatment for the 2025 construction season.
