This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Bismarck, North Dakota. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The City of Bismarck Public Works Service Operations is seeking bids for Furnishing Street Paving Materials - Parts A - G. The CITY OF BISMARCK has estimated the need for a supply of materials required from April 15, 2024, to April 14, 2025, for street maintenance and construction. The probable quantities will be listed on the proposal form. The contract shall be divided into seven parts, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G with a separate contract awarded for each part. Part A includes asphalt paving materials. Part B includes bituminous tack oil. Part C includes asphalt cement sealant (PG 58-28). Part D includes asphalt cement sealant (DP-1 and CRS-2). Part E includes bituminous seal oil. Part F includes crushed granite. Part G includes cold mix patch material. There will be no guarantee as to the quantity of material required as such material shall be on the basis of need. A CONTRACTOR bidding on either Part A, B, C, D, E, F, or G is not required to bid on the other part to have a valid bid but may do so at their discretion. A fax, scan, or email of the bid is acceptable if sent to a third party and not directly to the City of Bismarck. The third party is then responsible for delivery of the bid to the City of Bismarck prior to the date and time listed for the receipt of bids. Label the bid envelope "Furnishing Street Maintenance Materials 2024 - Parts A-G." Delivery of the materials shall take place within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice to deliver the following materials: AC Leveling Course (FAA 41), AC Superpave (FAA 41), and Cold Mix Patch Materials, and twenty-one (21) days of receipt of written notice to deliver the Crushed Granite. Notice to deliver may include the call for various quantities of materials to be received at the Department of Public Works storage yard located at 601 South 26th Street for asphalt cement sealant and bituminous seal oil to the Solid Waste Facility (Landfill) at 2111 North 52nd Street or as directed by the CITY. The CITY will pick up AC Superpave (FAA 41) and AC Leveling Course (FAA 41) at the CONTRACTOR's plant site. The CITY will make an adjustment to the base bids received for the AC Superpave (FAA 41) and the AC Leveling Course (FAA 41), based upon the distance and time to travel from the geographic center of Bismarck (1820 East Boulevard Avenue) to the CONTRACTOR's plant. This adjustment will be made to determine best and lowest bid. A trip add-on of $2.83 per ton of hot mix asphalt for Northern Improvement Company (NIC) shall be calculated and applied based on the 20-minute round trip travel time to NIC's hot mix plant located at 1721 Burlington Drive, Bismarck; and a trip add-on of $5.04 per ton of hot mix asphalt for Mariner Construction d/b/a Strata Corporation shall be calculated and applied based on the 35-minute round trip travel time to Mariner Construction d/b/a Strata Corporation's hot mix plant located at 16163 Industrial Park Drive, Menoken. The CITY calculated that this haul time costs the CITY $85.38 per hour for labor, equipment, and fuel. Haul time costs are calculated using a 9.74-ton asphalt load, determined by averaging CITY truck asphalt load weight over a ten-year period from 2012 to 2022. Payment for AC Superpave (FAA 41) and AC Leveling Course (FAA 41) shall be made at the asphalt base price bid. AC Leveling Course (FAA 41) and AC Superpave (FAA 41) shall be available at the CONTRACTOR'S plant site at any time the CONTRACTOR is normally producing the materials. The CITY reserves the right to purchase AC Superpave (FAA 41) or AC Leveling Course (FAA 41) from another supplier when it is deemed in the best interests of the City of Bismarck (for example, when the CONTRACTOR'S plant is not in production, or when the quantity of asphalt material to be obtained would make it uneconomical to haul from a greater distance).
