2026 Supply and Material Bids

Elkhart County, Indiana is procuring a broad suite of construction‑related materials—including liquid and hot‑mix asphalt, aggregates, sand, dust‑control chemicals, anti‑icing liquids, bulk fuels, fiber‑optic cable, tracer wire, and communications conduit—through an open competitive solicitation. Bids were received by February 23 2026 and awarded to four vendors, each receiving unit‑price contracts for the items they supply. Prices are locked through December 31 2026 (except liquid asphalt, which may have an escalator). The county may award multiple vendors per item based on quality, proximity, and cost considerations, and will issue purchase orders “as‑needed” throughout the fiscal year. • Open competition with no bond requirement; vendors must have ≥2 years experience and be able to deliver promptly to any county site. • Unit‑price structure for all items (gallons, tons, linear feet) with a guaranteed price period through 12/31/2026. • Scope covers 11 distinct material categories, each with detailed technical specs (INDOT standards for most aggregates, specific concentration for calcium‑chloride dust control, single‑mode fiber‑optic standards, etc.).
