New Signage for the Greenwood County Recreation Complex

Greenwood County, South Carolina issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 2025-RFP-012 on July 15, 2025, seeking qualified Sign Contractors to design, fabricate, and install new signage at the Greenwood County Recreation Complex located at 1552 Hwy 72-221 East, Greenwood, SC 29649. The project encompasses three primary deliverables: one LED Digital Message Center Sign and two internally lit monument signs positioned at different entrances to the facility, with specific requirements including brick bases matching existing fencing, LED illumination, and routed lettering. Prospective contractors must possess a valid South Carolina Contractor's license and provide comprehensive proposals that include a cover sheet, qualifications statement, conceptual artwork, proposal cost, evidence of bonding and insurance, and proof of adequate coverage for comprehensive general liability, fleet liability, and workers' compensation. The county will evaluate all submissions using a competitive, best-value bid process weighted across four criteria: experience and technical approach (20 points), cost (50 points), design quality (20 points), and local preference/proximity (10 points), with 100 total points possible. Key dates include a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for July 30, 2025, at 11:00 am, and a firm proposal deadline of August 14, 2025, at 2:30 pm. Selected contractors must provide a 12-month warranty against defective materials and labor, plus a 5-year warranty specifically for the LED Full Color Display.

The RFP contains no identified set-aside designations or restrictions limiting eligibility to disadvantaged enterprises or specific organization types; however, Greenwood County has emphasized local preference as a weighted evaluation criterion at 10 percent. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing signage infrastructure requiring integration were identified in the available procurement documents. The contract award is contingent upon the receipt and availability of adequate project funding, and Greenwood County explicitly reserves the right to reject any and all submittals. No specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the posted materials, requiring interested proposers to develop cost estimates based on project specifications and their individual capabilities.
