Bid Ref. # 25-042 Street Striping and Marking

The City of Albany, Georgia has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB #25-042) for comprehensive street striping and marking services across multiple city streets, including Old Dawson Road, N. Doublegate Drive, Stuart Avenue, Oakridge Drive, and Meredyth Drive. The procurement requires 5-inch thermoplastic striping, raised pavement markers (RPMs), and associated road markings, with a project completion timeline of 30 calendar days following the Notice to Proceed. A pre-bid conference will be conducted via Zoom on February 19, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with sealed bids due by March 12, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. to the Procurement Division. The contract will be awarded on a lump sum basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation likely focusing on pricing, technical capability, and compliance with specification requirements. Potential bidders must submit questions by March 5, 2025, at 2:30 p.m., directed to Ricky Gladney with copies to specified procurement staff.

The City of Albany strongly encourages Small Business firms to participate in this procurement opportunity. A bid bond of 5% is required for bids exceeding $100,000, with 100% performance and payment bonds mandatory for successful bidders in the same bid range. Contractors must maintain specified insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in general liability, vehicle liability, and worker's compensation insurance. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly detailed, the encouragement of small business participation suggests a potential preference for smaller, local contractors. The procurement does not indicate an incumbent vendor or specify existing infrastructure requirements for integration. Though a precise budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the street marking project and the bonding requirements suggest a moderate-scale municipal infrastructure investment.
