The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a full depth asphalt patching project located in Lexington County, specifically targeting Bearverdam Church Road (S-30-112) and Pearlie Farm Road (S-30-530). The procurement involves comprehensive road repair work requiring the removal of existing asphalt and base material to a 4-inch depth, followed by proof rolling and replacement with Intermediate Type C asphalt applied in two separate lifts. The project's total estimated quantity is 4,650 square yards of patching, with the solicitation including three primary line items: mobilization, traffic control, and full depth patching. Bidders must be prequalified prime contractors and comply with SCDOT's 2007 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, with a strict requirement to maintain high work quality and safety standards. The bid was issued on 09/16/2025, with formal offers due on 10/16/2025 at 2:30 PM, and the anticipated contract period running from 11/08/2025 to 04/30/2026. The procurement is exempt under section 11-35-710(1), with award determination based on the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide comprehensive liability insurance and adhere to specified traffic control standards throughout the project duration. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement emphasizes technical compliance and precise execution of road repair specifications. Bidders are required to submit unit prices for each line item, with the total contract price calculated by multiplying unit prices against specified quantities. Though an exact budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial infrastructure investment. The procurement process will culminate with the award being posted on 10/30/2025, with the successful bidder expected to demonstrate significant technical capability in road reconstruction and maintenance operations. Contractors should be prepared to provide detailed documentation of their qualifications, technical expertise, and ability to complete the specified roadway patching work within the designated timeframe.
