HWY-OM-2027-36 Pavement Marking Repairs at Various Locations

The State of Hawaii Department of Transportation Highways Division is soliciting bids for pavement marking repairs on the Island of Oahu on an as-needed basis under requirement contract HWY-OM-2027-36, with proposals due September 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. HST. Bidders must hold a valid State of Hawaii General Engineering "A" or Specialty Contractors "C-3," "C-3a," or "C-33" license and maintain an office on the Island of Oahu — eligibility filters that narrow the competitive field to locally established firms.

Contractors must respond to repair requests within 48 hours of notification and will be compensated on a unit-bid basis for actual quantities placed. The contract is a 24-month requirement with no guaranteed minimum purchase volume.

A minimum of 80 percent of the bidder's workforce must consist of Hawaii residents under HRS Section 103B-3. A five percent bid adjustment is available to bidders party to apprenticeship agreements under HRS Section 103-55.6. Proposals of $25,000 or more require bid security equal to at least 5 percent of the amount bid. Upon contract execution, the awardee must furnish performance and payment bonds in amounts of $45,000 per designated work area (Areas 1 through 4). Insurance requirements include workers' compensation, general liability of $2 million per occurrence, auto liability of $1 million per occurrence, and builders risk for full replacement value. Tax clearance from the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation and the Internal Revenue Service, a Department of Labor and Industrial Relations Certificate of Compliance, and a DCCA Certificate of Good Standing are required upon award.

A virtual pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 25, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. HST; interested bidders must contact Project Manager Robert Sun at robert.sun@hawaii.gov no later than one working day prior. Requests for information and substitution requests are due August 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. HST through HIePRO. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder within 60 calendar days of bid opening.
