Asphalt Parking Lot Sealcoat Projects

Portage County, Wisconsin, is seeking bids for a comprehensive asphalt parking lot sealcoat project through its Purchasing Department. The procurement involves minor crack filling, sealcoat application, striping, wording, and re-striping services for seven distinct county locations, including Jordan Park Dam Park, Jordan Campground, Lodge #1770, Park East #1825, Kayak Area #1895, the Main Office, and Standing Rocks Park. Bidders must have a minimum of five years of experience in asphalt sealcoat and striping services and provide three references from comparable-sized institutions. The project requires adherence to ASTM standards and Wisconsin Department of Transportation specifications, with work to be completed on weekdays approved by the County within an estimated 60-day timeframe. A pre-bid site visit is scheduled for July 22, 2021, at 10:00 AM, starting at Jordan Park, and all bids must be submitted by 2:00 PM on August 5, 2021. The County will evaluate bids based on the lowest total price from a responsive and responsible bidder, reserving the right to award to multiple vendors depending on price and project completion timeliness.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide Certificates of Insurance with a minimum of one million dollars in liability and commercial vehicle coverage. The contract term extends from the award date through project completion, with a potential extension for additional asphalt projects not exceeding December 31, 2023. No specific incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are mentioned in the documentation. The County has not predetermined a specific award value, stating that it cannot determine the estimated project value until vendor cost proposals are received. Pricing must remain firm for 90 days following bid opening, with the possibility of price reductions due to general market conditions. The County is exempt from federal excise taxes and Wisconsin sales taxes, which may provide some cost advantages for potential contractors.
