GREENWOOD COUNTY FULL DEPTH PATCHING

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is soliciting bids for a full-depth asphalt patching project in Greenwood County, specifically targeting S-24-229 (Old Shoals Junction Road). The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for road maintenance services requiring contractors to remove existing asphalt and base material to a six-inch depth through milling or saw-cutting, perform proof rolling, and replace the material with two lifts of Intermediate Type B asphalt. The project mandates compliance with the 2007 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, covering all aspects of excavation, hauling, asphalt placement, and traffic control. Bid submissions are due by October 4, 2021, at 2:30 PM, with award notification scheduled for October 6, 2021. The contract period runs from October 7, 2021, through December 30, 2021, with all work to be completed and invoiced by the final date. Bidding will be based on unit pricing for three line items: 2,000 square yards of full-depth asphalt patching, one traffic control package, and one mobilization cost, with the low bid determined by summing extended prices.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but bidders must register as South Carolina vendors prior to submission. Contractors are required to obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and permits, and provide comprehensive liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence for commercial general liability and auto liability. No incumbent vendors are listed, and no specific funding source is identified. While no explicit budget range is provided, the project involves unit pricing for patching 2,000 square yards of roadway. Nonresident contractors may be subject to a 2 percent withholding on contract payments unless registered with the Department of Revenue or Secretary of State. Contractors must notify SCDOT's Greenwood Maintenance office 48 hours before commencing work and coordinate with utility companies for any necessary relocations. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with South Carolina laws regarding debarment, ethics, drug-free workplace, and illegal immigration.
