Allied Blacktop Company — MN - Region 5 - Asphalt / Paving / Concrete

Allied Blacktop Company has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction contract through Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government entity, for asphalt, paving, and concrete services in Region 5. This cooperative purchasing agreement allows eligible government, education, and non-profit agencies within Minnesota to procure construction, repair, alteration, modernization, or renovation services for buildings and real property. The contract is administered by the Gordian Group, which manages the Construction Task Catalog used for pricing and the eGordian system for electronic invoicing and payment applications. The award was based on a best-value trade-off methodology, weighing non-price factors at 600 points and price at 400 points. Key evaluation criteria included the contractor's management plan, past performance on public sector projects in Minnesota, the credentials of the project team, and value-added contributions such as sustainable practices and SBE/WMBE/HUBZone participation. Technical execution must adhere to CSI MasterFormat specifications and various industry standards, including AASHTO, ASTM, and NFPA. Contractual obligations require the contractor to maintain strict site security and quality controls, including mandatory employee identification tags and compliance with drug and background screening requirements. Performance is measured by project-specific milestones, with final acceptance occurring at the project site following successful field inspections and the correction of all nonconforming work. Administrative fees are remitted to the Gordian Group, while project-specific payments are processed via AIA G702/G703 forms.
