Barricades Traffic Cones and Accessories

The City of Yuma, Arizona, located in Yuma County, is seeking qualified vendors to supply barricades, traffic cones, and related accessories through Request for Bid (RFB-26-127). The procurement encompasses Type II and Type III barricades in various lengths, traffic cones of multiple heights and colors, stackable vertical panels, spring-fitted sign stands, and pre-striped barricade tape. All products must strictly comply with federal, state, and local regulations, including U.S. Department of Transportation standards, Arizona Department of Transportation guidelines, the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 350 crash testing requirements. Vendors are required to deliver ordered items within 21 days and must provide detailed specifications for product construction, including galvanized steel or rust-resistant barricade legs, plywood rails with 3M Work Zone Sheeting, one-piece PVC traffic cones, and sign stands capable of withstanding 50 mile-per-hour winds. The bid is due on December 19, 2025, with a public opening via Microsoft Teams, and bidders must submit all materials through the City's Procurement Portal at yumaaz.bonfirehub.com/portal/. Evaluation criteria will include bid responsiveness, delivery capabilities, warranty terms, and past performance.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does require vendors to comply with federal non-discrimination standards and equal employment opportunity regulations. The contract will have an initial 12-month term with options for four additional one-year renewals, and multiple awards may be made to different vendors to serve various City departments including Public Works, Parks & Recreation, Police, Fire, and Community Development. Vendors must maintain firm, fixed pricing for the first 12 months and provide 30-day notice of any subsequent price changes. While no specific budget range is detailed, the procurement indicates that contracts exceeding $100,000 will require formal rebidding. The City has also established interactive purchasing agreements with other political subdivisions, potentially allowing awarded vendors to extend contract pricing to those entities. Notably, the solicitation involves federal funding, which subjects the contract to comprehensive compliance requirements outlined in 2 CFR Section 200, including provisions related to federal statutes, labor standards, and procurement regulations.
