Finished signs

Greenville County, South Carolina is seeking proposals for a comprehensive traffic signage procurement through Request for Proposals (RFP) #22006, targeting finished signs that comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Regulations. The procurement involves acquiring multiple sign types including Stop Signs, Speed Limit Signs (25-35 mph), Advisory Speed Signs, Dead End Signs, STOP Ahead Signs, No Truck Signs, and Object Marker Signs, all specified to be manufactured in Type IX vinyl with varying plate sizes ranging from 18" x 18" to 36" x 12". Vendors must provide 0.080 Gauge signs with detailed specifications on materials, dimensions, and retroreflective properties. Proposals are due by 3:30 PM EDT on October 4, 2021, with a tentative award date of October 11, 2021, and a projected Notice to Proceed by October 25, 2021. The county will evaluate proposals based on responsiveness, previous project experience, cost, references, and lead times, requiring vendors to submit a comprehensive Statement of Qualifications that includes company background, methodology, organizational structure, qualifications, experiences, and insurance coverage.

The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is structured as a one-year agreement with potential for four annual renewals, allowing for price adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index with a maximum increase tied to the Unadjusted Percent Change from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. While no specific budget range is provided, the inventory list indicates quantities ranging from 40 to 500 units per sign type, suggesting a potentially significant procurement value. No bid bond or performance/payment bond is required for this project. Vendors must specify unit prices for signage, freight charges, and lead times needed after receiving a purchase order. The procurement appears to be a comprehensive refresh or expansion of Greenville County's traffic signage inventory, aimed at enhancing road safety and traffic management within the county's jurisdiction.
