AGGREGATE, Various Material-Duplin County

The North Carolina Department of Transportation is soliciting offers under solicitation number 54-RC-12232369 to establish an agency-specific term contract for the furnishing and delivery of various aggregate materials—including Granite-based Aggregate Base Course, No. 57 Stone, Stone Class B, and No. 78 M—to the Duplin County Maintenance location in Kenansville, NC. The contract is designed as an indefinite-delivery, requirements-type arrangement with no guaranteed minimum or maximum quantities, where orders will be issued as needed over a one-year period beginning upon execution, with possible extensions. All materials must comply with NCDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures (2024 edition), specifically Sections 1005, 1008, 1010, and 1012, and must be sourced exclusively from quarries listed on the official NCDOT Approved Products Portal. Delivery is FOB Destination to the specified maintenance location, with strict adherence to a 20-day delivery window from order receipt. Vendors must complete and submit mandatory attachments including a detailed pricing form, certification of financial condition, disclosure of worker locations, and full information about the quarry or pit facility, while also ensuring compliance with state laws including the North Carolina Mining Act of 1971 and E-Verify requirements for eligible employers. The vendor must be registered with the North Carolina Secretary of State and may not subcontract any work without prior written approval from the state, with all proposed subcontractors requiring pre-approval. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the eVP portal by the deadline of August 4, 2026, and the award will be made based on the lowest price that meets specifications, though the State retains the right to select the bid most advantageous to its interests, indicating a hybrid LPTA and trade-off evaluation approach. Payment will be processed upon inspection and acceptance of material at the delivery point, with invoices submitted to designated NCDOT email addresses. No federal acquisition regulation clauses are applied; instead, terms are governed by NCDOT’s internal provisions and general state contract conditions. No contract value can be determined from the solicitation as pricing fields remain blank, and no federal accounting codes, CAGE, or UEI requirements are explicitly cited.
