Paving Mix - Spring Concrete / DPWP

The City of Worcester solicited sealed bids for the supply of various bituminous concrete paving mixes (spring concrete) to be delivered throughout a 12‑month period for its Department of Public Works & Parks. The contract covers manufacturing, delivery, sampling, and a one‑year warranty on the mixes, with pricing evaluated on a per‑ton basis plus an operating‑cost adjustment. The solicitation was open to pre‑qualified vendors, required standard insurance, and allowed the city to award on a non‑exclusive basis to the lowest responsible and responsive bidders. Awardees were identified as Aggregate Industries and A.F. Amorello & Sons. • Scope: Provide standard top‑course, bottom‑course, base, patching, and berm bituminous concrete mixes (estimated quantities up to ~20,000 tons). • Delivery: Direct to city‑owned or hired trucks at the mixing plant; samples may be taken at no cost to the bidder. • Evaluation: Lowest net price per ton after applying an operating‑cost formula based on round‑trip travel time.
