FY26 Traffic Control Services

The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) in Garden City, Idaho, is seeking competitive bids through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for FY26 Traffic Control Services across Ada County. The procurement covers comprehensive traffic control services for various ACHD job sites, including chip and fog sealing, paving, shouldering, and miscellaneous roadwork. Vendors must provide certified personnel through the Idaho Technology Transfer Center and American Traffic Safety Services Association, and strictly comply with the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The contract requires providers to supply flaggers, pick-up trucks, traffic control supervisors, and necessary equipment such as signs, barricades, markers, and arrow boards. ACHD anticipates requiring approximately 300 service days and up to 30,000 total hours, with potential peak daily requirements of 30 flaggers for Cloverdale and 20 flaggers for Adams. The bid is due on October 1, 2025, at 3:00 pm through the ACHD eProcurement Portal, with the contract period spanning January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. ACHD reserves the right to award multiple contracts and may proceed to the next lowest bidder if a selected vendor cannot provide required services. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Automobile insurance, with ACHD named as an additional insured. While precise award values are not specified, the extensive service requirements suggest a substantial contract opportunity. The procurement allows for potential contract extensions or modifications through written Change Orders, and payment terms include net 30-day processing with electronic invoicing. Notably, ACHD will compensate the contractor based on unit pricing for various traffic control services, with the total contract value to be determined during the bidding and negotiation process.
