3 YR on call sidewalk, C&G, ADA-richland

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is seeking a three-year on-call contract for sidewalk, curb and gutter, and ADA ramp removal/replacement services in Richland and Lexington Counties. The solicitation is an Invitation For Bid (IFB) with an estimated contract period from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2028. The project requires removing, disposing, and replacing existing sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and ADA ramps, including traffic control management. Estimated annual quantities include 6,000 square yards of 4" concrete sidewalk, 400 square yards of 6" concrete sidewalk/driveway, 1,500 linear feet of concrete curb and gutter, 175 square yards of ADA pedestrian ramps, and 50 square feet of detectable warning surfaces. Bidders must submit unit pricing for each line item, with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder to be awarded the contract. The bid opening is scheduled for April 8, 2025, at 2:30 PM, with questions due by April 2, 2025, and the award expected to be posted on April 30, 2025.

The contract encourages minority business participation and requires bidders to register with the state vendor system to be eligible for submission. Vendors must comply with state regulations, including specific insurance requirements, worker safety standards, and immigration verification. The contract allows for automatic one-year renewals and potential price adjustments limited by the Consumer Price Index for "Other Goods & Services" upon request and justification. Bidders must be prepared to meet technical specifications outlined in the SCDOT 2007 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, which provide comprehensive guidelines for concrete construction methods, materials, and infrastructure standards. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the multi-year contract and extensive annual quantity estimates suggest a substantial procurement opportunity. Qualified concrete suppliers must be certified by the National Ready Mix Concrete Association (NRMCA) and meet SCDOT's Qualified Product List (QPL) requirements to provide materials for the project.
