Highway Department Traffic Paint FY27

The Montgomery County Highway Department in Tennessee is issuing a sealed bid solicitation for traffic paint supplies to support road maintenance and safety operations. The procurement encompasses three distinct items: White Traffic Paint (Fast Dry), Yellow Traffic Paint (Fast Dry), and Glass Beads, all of which must comply with State of Tennessee specifications and meet stringent performance requirements. Bidders must ensure that all paint products dry within 60 seconds under normal conditions, are capable of receiving and holding glass beads for reflectorized traffic markings, and are suitable for application on both asphalt and concrete pavement surfaces. The contract term runs for one year from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with delivery costs required to be included in the quoted unit pricing. The bid release date is May 4, 2026, with a deadline for written questions on May 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CST, with answers provided on May 13, 2026. Sealed bids must be received by 10:00 a.m. CST on May 18, 2026, at which time they will be publicly opened and read aloud. Submission may be made in person, by mail, or electronically through the Bonfire portal, with all bid information required to remain valid for 60 days following the opening to allow for proper evaluation and award determination.

Bidders must comply with multiple state and local requirements as conditions of bid acceptance, including certification of non-boycott of Israel compliance under Tennessee Code Annotated 12-4-1 (for contracts valued at $250,000 or more with suppliers having 10 or more employees), confirmation of non-listing on the Iran Divestment Act ineligible entities list, and affirmation of commitment to Montgomery County's non-discrimination policy in compliance with Title VI regulations. Proposals must be submitted in Word document format, and vendors are required to certify that their bids were prepared independently without collusion and that no improper incentives were offered by county officials. While no specific incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in the solicitation documents, Montgomery County reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award the contract in whole or in part to one or more vendors. Voluntary disclosure of business ownership type—including woman-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, or disability-owned status—is requested for Title VI compliance documentation purposes. No specific budget range or contract value is disclosed in the available materials, and Montgomery County emphasizes that vendors must be responsible firms capable of executing purchase orders and maintaining full compliance with all terms and conditions.
