About this file
This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the City of Madison, Wisconsin Finance Department, Purchasing Services, on behalf of the Traffic Engineering Department. The solicitation requests quotations for seventeen different types of aluminum alloy sign blanks with various dimensions, hole specifications, and surface treatments. The quantities range from 10 units for 18" X 66" blanks to 1,500 units for 15" X 21" blanks, with a total of approximately 4,710 sign blanks requested. The RFQ was released on Friday, January 30th, 2026, with quotations due on Friday, February 13th, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. All sign blanks must be aluminum alloy #5052-H38, deburred with smooth edges, coated with Alodine 1200S, and feature 1-1/2" corner radius unless otherwise specified. Winning bidders are required to provide cut sheets for review before drilling holes and must provide 24-48 hours advance notice prior to delivery to Ed Smith at the specified contact information. The receiving facility has no loading dock, so shipments must be made on flatbeds or drivers must unload pallets from the truck bed.
Quotations must include all shipping charges with FOB Madison pricing and represent delivered prices only. The City of Madison has adopted a local vendor preference purchasing policy that grants scoring preference to local suppliers registered as of the bid's due date. The award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder whose bid is most advantageous to the City, considering criteria such as cost, quality, workmanship, compatibility, warranty, delivery, past performance, and service capability. Quotations may not be withdrawn for a period of 90 days following the due date. Bidders are required to complete Form A (Price Proposal) and Form B (Bidder Information) and submit responses via email to bids@cityofmadison.com. Technical questions regarding specifications should be directed to Ed Smith at Traffic Engineering, while questions about instructions and terms should be directed to Brittany Garcia in Purchasing Services.
