Paving Mix - Spring Concrete/DPW&P

The City of Worcester issued a sealed‑bid solicitation (CR‑7969‑M3) for the supply and delivery of bituminous concrete paving mix to its Department of Public Works & Parks. The contract covers multiple mix types—including patching, bottom‑course, top‑course, base, and berm mixes—with total estimated quantities of roughly 35,850 tons to be delivered over a one‑year performance period (April 7 2023 through April 6 2024). The award went to HOLCIM‑NER, INC., which will provide the material at a fixed per‑ton price, subject to an operating‑cost adjustment based on round‑trip travel time. The City requires commercial‑grade product analysis, offers a one‑year warranty, and sets specific insurance minimums. Bids were due March 8 2023, and the contract is a standard full‑and‑open competition. • Scope: Supply of various paving‑mix grades (patching, base, top, berm) totaling ~35,850 tons. • Delivery: To DPW & Parks trucks, with priority for city‑owned vehicles; delivery must occur within 12 days of notification if not otherwise scheduled. • Evaluation: Lowest net price per ton after applying a travel‑time‑based operating‑cost adjustment; prompt‑pay discount considered only if payment terms exceed 30 days.
