2025 SPECIAL PAVEMENT MARKING PROJECT

The Macomb County Department of Roads (MCDR) is soliciting bids for the 2025 Special Pavement Marking Project, a comprehensive county-wide roadway marking renewal initiative. The procurement seeks a contractor to remove and replace pavement markings, including stop bars, crosswalks, railroad crossings, school zones, and roundabout markings, primarily on 5-lane roads with turn lanes. Specific requirements include using Recessed Polyurea and Polyurea materials with retroreflective beads, applied at a minimum dry thickness of 45 Mils, following the latest MCDR Special Pavement Marking Specifications. Bidders must be prequalified with a State Department of Transportation, holding a NET CLASSIFICATION of 600 N3 (Pavement Marking) or equivalent. The project requires strict adherence to current MMUTCD and MDOT Maintaining Traffic guidelines. Electronic bids are due electronically through Bid Express by 11:00 a.m. EST on Friday, May 16, 2025, with the project proposal becoming available on April 18, 2025. A bid bond or financial instrument for 5% of the total bid is mandatory, and bids cannot be withdrawn for at least 45 days after the closing time.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders will be evaluated based on their technical capabilities, compliance with specifications, and overall proposal value. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves working across Macomb County's road network, potentially requiring contractors to have extensive local knowledge and equipment suitable for varied road conditions. The MCDR reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive irregularities in the bidding process, with the goal of selecting the most advantageous proposal. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in county infrastructure maintenance. Contractors should be prepared for a potentially extensive project that involves systematic marking replacement across multiple county roadways, with work to be directed by MCDR inspectors or engineers.
