Greenville County is soliciting sealed competitive bids for its 2026 Pavement Preservation Project, seeking qualified contractors to perform comprehensive surface treatment and road maintenance services. The primary scope involves applying 102,615 square yards of asphalt single treatment and 110,818 square yards of fog seal across multiple county roads, along with additional work including full-depth asphalt pavement patching (1,959 square yards at 4 inches and 199 square yards at 6 inches) and 48,000 linear feet of road striping. Contractors must be prequalified with the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and possess an active South Carolina Contractors License, with the ability to provide all necessary materials, labor, and equipment for project completion.

Sealed bids are due electronically on January 23, 2026, at 3:00 PM, with questions accepted through January 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The county anticipates contract award on January 28, 2026, with a notice to proceed expected February 4, 2026, and a project completion timeline of 270 consecutive calendar days.

Contractors must comply with specific insurance requirements, including comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $2,000,000 aggregate, automobile liability of $1,000,000, and statutory workers' compensation coverage. The project requires a bid bond equal to five percent of the total bid price and performance and payment bonds for the full bid amount within fifteen working days of award. Contractors must also submit a Substitute W-9 form and certify compliance with the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Reform Act and the Prison Rape Elimination Act. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, contractors must adhere to SCDOT Standard Specifications for Highway Construction (2025 Edition).
