D01 Lane Control Sign

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking bids for an LED lane control sign to be installed at the Van Wert County weigh station on US-30. The specific procurement requires a sign with precise dimensions of 78" long x 18" tall x 8" deep, capable of displaying "OPEN" and "CLOSED" messages. Vendors are required to submit specification sheets with their quote to ensure accuracy, with Orange Traffic sign specifications serving as the baseline standard or an approved equivalent. The contract opportunity is posted in Union County (FIPS Code 39159) with a posting date of October 3, 2025, and a firm submission deadline of October 20, 2025. Potential bidders must carefully review the attached Affirmation and Disclosure Form and Purchasing Standard Terms and Conditions documents, which outline comprehensive requirements for contractor compliance, data handling, and service performance. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical specifications, sign functionality, adherence to dimensional requirements, and compliance with state procurement guidelines.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. However, the attached documents indicate stringent compliance requirements, including detailed location disclosure for business operations and service performance. Contractors must affirm their understanding of Executive Orders prohibiting offshore services and demonstrate full transparency regarding their principal business locations and subcontractor details. The Purchasing Standard Terms and Conditions document emphasizes non-discrimination standards and requires vendors to maintain proper certifications and adhere to state and federal regulations. While a specific budget range is not provided, the procurement appears to be a targeted infrastructure improvement for the Van Wert County weigh station. Vendors must be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation, including potential waivers for service location and detailed information about their technological capabilities to meet the lane control sign specifications.
