Edgefield County Full Depth Patching
The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is soliciting bids for a full-depth asphalt patching project in Edgefield County, targeting five specific road locations: Sprouse Road, Pleasant Lane Road, Dorn Road, Simpkins Road, and Walker Road. The procurement involves comprehensive roadway repair services, requiring contractors to remove existing asphalt and base material to a 6-inch depth through milling or saw-cutting, and then replace it with two lifts of Intermediate Type C asphalt. The total project scope includes approximately 4,500 square yards of patching and an additional 20 tons of maintenance stone. Bidders must be prequalified SCDOT prime contractors and submit unit pricing for four line items: Mobilization, Traffic Control, 6" Full Depth Patching, and Maintenance Stone. Critical procurement dates include a November 17, 2023 deadline for submitting questions, with bids due November 30, 2023, at 2:30 PM, and anticipated contract award on December 14, 2023. The contract period will run from December 15, 2023, to December 14, 2024, with award going to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder subject to approval by the South Carolina Transportation Secretary.
The solicitation requires all bidders to be registered state vendors with a vendor number and submit proposals online at www.procurement.sc.gov, including one signed hard copy of the Cover Page and Page Two. Contractors must maintain specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability, $1,000,000 in auto liability, and workers' compensation insurance. The project includes strict compliance mandates, including adherence to the 2007 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, coordination with utility locates through SC 811, and ensuring daily roadway openings to traffic. A critical compliance component involves a conflict-of-interest certification required under South Carolina Code of Laws Section 57-1-350(G), prohibiting SCDOT Commission members from holding direct or indirect interests in the project. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes contractor qualifications and compliance. Though an exact project budget is not specified, the detailed scope and unit pricing structure suggest a moderate-scale infrastructure maintenance contract typical of county-level transportation improvements.
