FURNISHING AND DELIVERY OF LUMBER AS REQUIRED BY VARIOUS MIDDLESEX COUNTY AGENCIES

Solicitation B-26-081 is an invitation for bids issued by the Middlesex County Office of Purchasing for the furnishing and delivery of various lumber products to multiple county agencies. The contract spans twelve consecutive months from the date of award, with the award based on the lowest total lump sum amount submitted on the bid sheet. Bidders must provide unit pricing for a wide range of materials, including pressure-treated lumber, plywood, and MDF, adhering to specific grading standards such as the Western Wood Products Association and the American Plywood Association. All materials must be delivered in first-class condition, with standard deliveries required within twenty-four hours of an order, though specific sites like the Police Training Center require forty-eight hours' notice. The procurement process requires electronic submission by September 3, 2026, and includes several mandatory documents such as a Statement of Ownership, Non-Collusion Affidavit, and Corporate Resolution. Bidders must comply with various legal and regulatory standards, including the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wages, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Middlesex County Qualified Business Enterprise Set-Aside Program. Payment is processed through the Board of County Commissioners on a sixty-day cycle, though prompt payment discounts of at least 1% may be offered. Additionally, contractors providing services to sensitive locations, such as the Department of Corrections or Juvenile Detention Center, must undergo security clearances and child abuse record checks.
