2025 Pavement Marking Project

The City of Owosso, located in Shiawassee County, Michigan, is soliciting sealed bids for the 2025 Pavement Marking Project, a comprehensive street infrastructure maintenance initiative. The project involves detailed pavement marking services across multiple city streets, requiring contractors to provide waterborne and cold plastic markings for longitudinal lines, intersections, crosswalks, stop bars, and directional symbols. Bidders must submit pricing for all requested items in an "All or None" format, with work scheduled to begin no earlier than July 7, 2025, and to be completed by September 30, 2025. Sealed bids will be accepted until 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, with contractors required to provide a Bid Bond for 5% of the total bid and enter into a contract within 10 consecutive calendar days of bid acceptance. Evaluation criteria include local preference policies offering a 6% bid advantage to businesses within Owosso city limits and a 3% advantage to businesses within Shiawassee County, with contractors needing to demonstrate compliance with specific insurance requirements including Commercial General Liability and Workers' Compensation.

The procurement opportunity includes a local preference policy that provides competitive advantages to local businesses, potentially limiting broad competitive access. Contractors must be prepared to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, with the City of Owosso named as an additional insured party. The project will be funded through local municipal sources, with no specific incumbent vendors mentioned in the documentation. While no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are noted, the local preference policy suggests a focus on supporting regional businesses. The project covers multiple city quadrants, including detailed marking plans for intersections on streets such as Bradley, Cedar, Brooks, Main, Carmody, Center, Chipman, and others, indicating a complex and extensive scope of work. Insurance and bonding requirements suggest a minimum level of financial and operational capability for potential bidders. While no precise budget range is specified, the comprehensive nature of the marking project across multiple street segments implies a substantial municipal investment in infrastructure maintenance.
