About this file

This Amendment 1 document is an Invitation for Bid issued by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) Procurement Office for LED Truck Mount Message Boards. The solicitation, numbered 5400025936, was issued on September 26, 2023, with a submission deadline of October 5, 2023, at 2:30 PM. No pre-bid conference or site visit is required. The award is scheduled to be posted on October 20, 2023. Offerors must submit one copy of their signed offer online at http://www.procurement.sc.gov and agree to hold their offer open for a minimum of thirty calendar days after the opening date. The procurement officer is Jon Baysden, reachable at 803-737-4832 or BaysdenJW@scdot.org.

The amendment addresses two key clarifications from offerors' questions. The equipment specifications require a bed rail mounting frame constructed of 2-inch by 2-inch square tubing with 11-gauge welded steel, equipped with two electric linear actuators (one on each side) integrated with limit switches to prevent motor gear wear. The frame must accommodate standard utility bodies for Ford, Chevy, and Dodge vehicles with 350 or 3500 specifications, measuring 80 inches wide with 15-inch-wide side binds, as referenced in Attachment B. The state confirmed that a wireless touchscreen controller is acceptable for controlling the message boards remotely from any smart device. Offerors were required to submit questions by September 26, 2023, at 12:00 PM.
