Description

The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) is seeking a qualified vendor to furnish, deliver, and unload Red Oak hardwood mulch for the North Carolina Zoo on an as‑needed basis over a three‑year period. The mulch will be used for aesthetic landscaping, habitat maintenance, weed control, and erosion control. The contract calls for approximately 1,920 cubic yards per year (total ~5,760 cubic yards) delivered in roughly 80‑cubic‑yard truckloads (about two truckloads per month). Bids must be submitted electronically via the NC e‑Procurement Ariba Sourcing Tool by September 10, 2026, with questions due by September 1, 2026. The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder that meets all specifications and certification requirements.

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $300,000

The contract calls for roughly 1,920 cubic yards of Red Oak mulch per year (≈5,760 yd³ over three years). Market rates for bulk hardwood mulch typically range from $20 to $40 per cubic yard, depending on volume, delivery distance, and seasonal factors. Assuming an average unit price of $30/yd³, total material cost would be about $172,800 over the three‑year term. Adding delivery, handling, and administrative fees (≈10‑15% of material cost) pushes the contract value into the $190,000‑$200,000 range. Therefore, a realistic estimate for the vendor’s revenue is between $100,000 (low‑end pricing, minimal freight) and $300,000 (high‑end pricing, longer haul, premium mulch).
