The document is an Award Extension notice from the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) Procurement Office for Solicitation 5400028143, a Fixed-Price (FP) On-Call Traffic Signal services contract. The solicitation seeks multiple contractors to provide traffic signal installation, repair, modification, maintenance, and replacement services through a three-year work order-based contract from June 16, 2025, to June 15, 2028. The pre-bid conference is scheduled for April 15, 2025, at 9:00 AM, with offers due by May 6, 2025, at 2:30 PM. Contractors must provide a four-person crew with specialized equipment, including a bucket truck, line truck, and foreman's vehicle, and be capable of completing individual work orders within 30 calendar days.

The procurement indicates that additional time is necessary to complete the procurement process, and the award posting date has been extended indefinitely. Contractors will be selected based on responsiveness, responsibility, and the ability to submit pricing at or below established fixed prices. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the contract appears open to qualified traffic signal and infrastructure maintenance firms with demonstrated capabilities in urban and rural settings. Bidders must submit offers online and provide an electronic copy of their pricing worksheet. The solicitation suggests a significant contract value, given the three-year duration and comprehensive nature of required services, focusing on traffic signal infrastructure maintenance and improvement across Richland County and potentially statewide.
