The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for bridge repair services on Interstate 95 in Hampton County, specifically targeting soil stabilization and void fill services at two locations: northbound at mile markers 33.9 and 39.76. The project involves lifting and leveling four concrete approach slabs (12 feet wide by 50 feet long by 10 inches deep) using high-density polyurethane foam injection methods, with the contractor responsible for all traffic control and pavement damage repairs. Key procurement dates include a question submission deadline of May 29, 2019 at 12:00 PM, bid submission deadline of June 7, 2019 at 2:30 PM, and a planned award posting on June 12, 2019. Contractor qualifications require a minimum of three years of experience performing similar work, with documentation of at least three comparable completed projects. The evaluation criteria will be based on the lowest bid, determined by summing extended prices with unit prices taking precedence. The contract work must commence by June 18, 2019 and be completed by August 30, 2019, with an initial contract term of one year.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrict participation to particular types of organizations. Contractors must obtain a South Carolina vendor number prior to bid submission and comply with state procurement regulations. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability with $1,000,000 per occurrence, Auto Liability with $1,000,000 per accident limits, and Worker's Compensation as mandated by South Carolina law. The project pricing is structured around five line items: 1,800 gallons of soil stabilization resin, 2,500 pounds of slab leveling material, mobilization, temporary lane closures, and lane closure shifts. While a specific budget range is not provided, the contractor will be responsible for all labor, equipment, materials, traffic control, and incidental costs associated with project completion. The final award is contingent upon approval by the South Carolina Transportation Secretary, which may require an additional ten days beyond the posted award date.
