FY 2024-2028 Traffic Striping Installation and Maintenance

The City of Santa Cruz Public Works Department is seeking qualified firms to provide traffic striping installation and maintenance services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) for fiscal years 2024-2028. The contract will cover on-demand services related to new traffic striping installation, preventative maintenance, pavement markings, and delineator installation and removal within the city. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM on October 26, 2023, and must be submitted through the OpenGov Procurement website. The evaluation process will utilize a two-phase approach, with 50 total possible points divided equally between technical proposal (assessing vendor qualifications, project team, and overall proposal quality) and cost schedule. The cost schedule will employ a ratio method, with the lowest cost proposal receiving maximum points. The contract is tentatively scheduled to begin in November 2023 and will continue through June 30, 2028, with potential annual renewals at the City's discretion.

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The annual contract budget is set at $130,000 per fiscal year, with potential price increases limited to the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward Consumer Price Index or 5%, whichever is less. Vendors will be required to extend contract pricing and terms to other government agencies for at least six months following the award. Compliance requirements include adherence to prevailing wage regulations, living wage ordinance, and specified insurance provisions. At the City's option, the contract may be renewed annually under the same terms and conditions, providing potential long-term opportunity for the selected vendor to continue providing traffic striping and maintenance services for Santa Cruz.
