ANDERSON FULL DEPTH PATCHING SC-28

The state and local contract opportunity involves a road infrastructure project for full depth patching on SC-28 in Anderson, South Carolina, initiated by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) through Solicitation 5400024907. The procurement was specifically focused on roadway maintenance and repair services within Richland County, targeting comprehensive pavement restoration and rehabilitation. The project scope required contractors to perform full depth patching, which typically involves removing damaged road sections and replacing them with new, structurally sound materials to restore road surface integrity. The solicitation was posted on March 15, 2023, with an original due date for bid submissions on the same date. However, the procurement process was ultimately terminated when the procurement officer, Grace Sowell, rejected all submitted bids for items 1 through 6 due to pricing being considered excessive and beyond the agency's budgetary constraints.

No specific set-aside designations or explicit restrictions on respondent organizations were detailed in the available documentation. The "No Award" notification suggests that while contractors were invited to submit proposals, none met the SCDOT's cost requirements for the project. The procurement did not specify incumbent vendors or require integration with existing infrastructure. Without a successful bid, the potential award value remains undetermined, though the rejection indicates that the submitted proposals significantly exceeded the agency's estimated budget for the full depth patching services. The lack of award implies that the project may be re-solicited with revised specifications or budget allocations to attract more competitively priced proposals from road construction and maintenance contractors.
