LEE employee parking lot lighting

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is seeking an informal quote for a lighting installation project at the Lee Maintenance facility located at 703 East Church Street in Bishopville, SC. The procurement involves furnishing and installing exterior LED lighting, specifically including 4 wood pole-mounted RSXF2 LED floodlight fixtures and 1 TWX3 LED wall-mounted fixture at various locations around the facility, including the front entrance gate, behind the water tower, near the truck shed, and on the truck shed wall. Qualified contractors must be licensed electricians capable of completing the entire installation within 14 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, working between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays. The bid responses are due by March 5, 2025, at 2:30 PM, with pricing to be submitted as a grand total excluding sales tax. Bidders are required to conduct a site visit to assess existing conditions, and no additional allowances will be made for unforeseen difficulties. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Karen Brooks, who can be reached at 803-737-8380 or BrooksKM@SCDOT.org.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified electrical contractors who can meet the project specifications. The project will be located in Lexington County and involves upgrading the parking lot and facility lighting infrastructure. The contractor will be responsible for all materials except the specified Lithonia Lighting fixtures, which will be provided separately. Payment will be processed as a single lump sum upon completion and acceptance of all work, with the contractor maintaining full responsibility for safety, site cleanup, and preventing damage to SCDOT property during project execution. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the scope suggests a moderate-scale lighting improvement project focused on enhancing employee parking lot and facility illumination. Interested vendors should carefully review the attached site plans, which provide detailed schematics of the proposed lighting installations, and be prepared to integrate new lighting infrastructure with existing facility layouts.
