FDP SC-86 & S-247 anderson

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has issued an Invitation For Bid (IFB) for full depth patching services in Anderson County, specifically targeting Highway 86 and Broadway Lake Road. The procurement solicits a contractor to perform 8" full depth asphalt patching on Highway 86 and 6" full depth patching on Broadway Lake Road, with work scheduled between 11/26/2025 and 02/15/2026. The project encompasses multiple line items including mobilization, traffic control, patching, maintenance stone placement, and road striping, with specific quantities outlined: 2 mobilization events, 1 traffic control setup, 2,600 square yards of 8" full depth patching, 2,100 square yards of 6" full depth patching, 50 US tons of maintenance stone, 2,000 linear feet of white fast-dry paint, and 4,000 linear feet of yellow fast-dry paint. The solicitation was released on 10/03/2025, with bid offers due by 11/04/2025 at 2:30 PM, and the award expected to be posted on 11/13/2025. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with evaluation criteria focused on meeting technical specifications, compliance, and cost-effectiveness.

The procurement is exempt from standard procurement rules under code 11-35-710(1) and requires contractors to be registered in the state vendor system and comply with immigration laws. Potential bidders must meet various insurance and qualification requirements, though no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are explicitly mentioned. The project will be funded through the South Carolina Department of Transportation and executed using standard state procurement guidelines. While no specific budget range is provided, the detailed scope of work suggests a moderate-scale infrastructure maintenance project. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability to perform precise road patching and striping work, with the ability to mobilize quickly and manage traffic control during the repair process. The one-year contract term and specific geographic focus on Anderson County indicate a targeted approach to localized road infrastructure improvement.
