Huron Fishing Access Asphalt Sealing and Striping

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Wildlife Division is seeking a contractor to perform sealcoating and striping services at the Huron Fishing Access facility located at 3 Cleveland Rd. East in Huron, Erie County, Ohio. The project involves comprehensive asphalt surface maintenance, specifically sealcoating approximately 242,000 square feet of parking lots and road areas. Key deliverables include crack sealing for gaps 3/8" and larger using hot rubberized sealant, applying Sealmaster coal tar sealer at 0.10 gallon per square yard with 2-3 lbs of sand per gallon, and re-striping existing markings in yellow, including ADA spaces and crosswalks. The work must be completed in phases to maintain public access, scheduled Monday through Thursday, and delivered by June 30, 2025. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the low lot total, calculated by multiplying unit costs by estimated usage for all items. Bidders must quote prices for all items to be considered responsive, and the project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Ohio Revised Code Section 4115.071.

The procurement encourages participation from Ohio-certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) businesses, in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 125.081 and Executive Order 2008-13S. Contractors must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form, which prohibits offshore services, offshore data storage, and purchasing from Russian institutions or companies. The State reserves the right to immediately terminate the contract if services are moved outside the United States without an approved waiver. Contractors must also submit an OPERS Independent Contractor Form and comply with various state contractual requirements, including maintaining specific insurance coverages such as Commercial General Liability ($1M per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($1M per accident), and Workers' Compensation insurance. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project and the extensive surface area suggest a substantial contract value. Invoices must be submitted directly to Ohio Shared Services via email, fax, or mail, with payments processed within 30 calendar days of receipt.
