Clean pipes and catch basins on parker

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) Procurement Office is soliciting quotes for cleaning pipes and catch basins on Parker Drive in Litchfield, South Carolina. The project scope involves cleaning approximately 3,587 linear feet of pipe with diameters ranging from 12 to 24 inches, along with 30 catch basins. Contractors must utilize a vacuum truck, ensure responsible disposal of collected materials, and implement appropriate traffic control in compliance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The solicitation was issued on September 16, 2020, with offers due by September 24, 2020, at 2:30 p.m. Award notification is scheduled for September 28, 2020, with a contract period running from September 29, 2020, to June 30, 2021. Bidders are required to submit a single lump sum price through the online procurement portal and will be evaluated based on being the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Key qualifications include being registered as a South Carolina vendor and providing proof of required insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Auto Liability, and Worker's Compensation.

The contract does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must obtain all necessary licenses and permits, ensure worker safety, and provide appropriate traffic control. Nonresident contractors may be subject to South Carolina withholding tax requirements. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, contractors must maintain fixed pricing for the duration of the contract. The project requires contractors to independently locate and arrange their own dump site for material disposal, as no designated disposal location will be provided by SCDOT. Contractors must complete the entire work within 14 days after receiving the purchase order, with potential flexibility for weather-related extensions given the project's timing during hurricane season. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Auto Liability of $1,000,000 per accident, and Worker's Compensation with Employer's Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per accident.
