085-25 Pavement Marking Material, Heat Fused Preformed Thermoplastic

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking to establish a term contract for Pre-Qualified Heat-Fused Preformed Thermoplastic Pavement Marking Materials through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 085-25. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of road marking products, including white and yellow lines in various widths (4", 6", 8", 12", 16", and 24"), specialized markings like "School", "Only", and "R x R" kits, and multiple arrow configurations such as turn arrows, straight arrows, and combination arrows. Vendors must have their materials listed on the current ODOT Approved Products list at the time of bid opening, with no substitutions permitted. The contract will span ODOT's twelve districts and eighty-eight counties, with a contract duration from the Date of Award through August 31, 2026. Deliveries are required within 30 calendar days of purchase order notification, with a minimum delivery order of $250.00, and all deliveries will be Free on Board (F.O.B.) to designated district and county locations. The bid is structured as a split award across four groups, and vendors must submit pricing for all items within a specific group to be eligible for award.

The procurement includes a requirement for compliance with Build America Buy America (BABA) regulations, mandating vendors provide certification of the domestic origin of all products. Pricing terms stipulate that bid pricing will not increase for the first 60 calendar days after bid opening, with subsequent price increase requests requiring written approval from ODOT. The pricing schedule is detailed across four groups (A90, A125, B90, and B125), with estimated quantities ranging from 10 to 3,200 units per item. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests it is open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and domestic origin requirements. The bid includes 28 different marking types across the groups, indicating a potentially significant contract value, though exact budget ranges are not specified in the provided documentation. Vendors must be prepared to provide a wide range of pavement marking materials that meet FHWA standards and ODOT's strict product approval criteria.
