Bid # 25-191 2025 Annual Pavement Markings Contract

The City of Springfield, Massachusetts, through its Office of Procurement, is soliciting sealed bids for Bid No. 25-191, a comprehensive 2025-2027 Annual Pavement Markings Contract covering extensive roadway marking services within the city. The project scope includes removing approximately 500 square feet of existing pavement markings and applying various pavement markings, including 150,000 linear feet of 4" reflectorized white lines, 42,000 linear feet of hand-painted 4" white lines, 250,000 linear feet of 12" reflectorized white lines, 1,050,000 linear feet of 4" reflectorized yellow lines, 5,000 linear feet of hand-painted yellow lines, 30,000 square feet of pavement arrows and legends, and some thermoplastic lines and legends. Bidders must be pre-qualified through the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) under the Highway Construction category. The initial contract term is one year, with options to extend for two additional 12-month periods. Bid documents will be available starting June 18, 2025, with all questions to be submitted by June 26, 2025, at 4:00 P.M., and sealed bids are due on July 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.

The procurement supports a goal of 20% minority and women participation, indicating a commitment to diversity in contracting. The project follows Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 30 section 39M, with wage rates set by the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Safety. Valuation for MassDOT prequalification is calculated by multiplying the first-year value by three, requiring vendors to demonstrate the capability of providing services over three years at three times the initial estimated value. The total estimated contract value for the first year is $529,000, suggesting a potential three-year contract value of approximately $1,587,000. Bidders must be prepared to meet the city's rigorous pre-qualification requirements, demonstrate financial stability, and show technical expertise in pavement marking services. The contract appears to be open to qualified contractors who can meet the technical specifications and diversity participation goals, with a focus on experienced, professional roadway marking providers.
