045-25 Statewide REBUILD and/or REPAIR: Noise Wall Parts

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking qualified vendors to establish a term contract for rebuilding and/or replacing noise wall parts across multiple districts in Ohio, with specific focus on Districts 1-8 and 12, encompassing 26 counties including Allen County. The procurement (ITB 045-25) solicits bids for comprehensive noise wall maintenance services, including removal and replacement of concrete panels, posts, fiberglass panels, steel panels, resealing, and concrete patching. Vendors must submit electronically through OhioBuys and obtain an OAKS Payor ID before contract issuance, with all bidders required to follow Ohio Prevailing Wage Laws and comply with ODOT Construction and Materials Specifications. The contract will run from the date of award through June 30, 2025, with work orders to be completed within 30 days of receipt unless mutually agreed extensions are determined. Mandatory requirements include detailed pricing for various panel and post sizes, coordination with utilities before excavation, traffic control, and safety measures. The proposal is due by January 16, 2025, with bids to be submitted electronically, and vendors must provide comprehensive pricing for panel removal, replacement, post installation, and mobilization across different districts.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard ODOT non-discrimination compliance is required. Vendors must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form certifying that no contract services will be performed outside the United States, with specific prohibition on services in Russia per Executive Order 2022-02D. The contract will be awarded to all responsive bidders pursuant to O.R.C. 5513.02, with pre-approved products and suppliers listed on ODOT's Approved Noise Suppliers List and S1073 - Certified Precast Concrete Suppliers. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the pricing worksheet includes 71 line items covering various service components, suggesting a potentially substantial procurement value. Vendors must provide both hard copy and electronic bid packages, with delivery costs factored into pricing for nine different ODOT districts. Successful contractors will be required to register as State of Ohio Suppliers within 14 days of contract award and maintain pricing firmness for the contract duration unless otherwise specified in writing by the ODOT Director.
