Furnish and Installation of Pavement & Road Markings, Painting Services and Supplies

Texas A&M University, Division of Finance and Business Services Procurement Services, is requesting bids for a Master Agreement to provide pavement and road marking, painting services, and supplies on the Texas A&M campus in College Station under ITB TAMU-26-5028, with bids due July 8, 2026. The solicitation is extended to all Texas State Agencies classified as Institutions of Higher Education, though individual agencies may elect not to participate.

The scope covers comprehensive pavement marking services including surface preparation (pressure washing and sandblasting), removal and restriping, repainting, installation of wheel stops, posts, signs, and thermoplastic markings. Services encompass reflectorized and non-reflectorized lines in widths from 4 to 24 inches, directional arrows, handicap emblems, bike lane markings, words, and railroad crossing symbols. The pricing schedule includes 197 detailed line items covering mobilization fees, equipment specifications, material standards, and labor components across different surface preparation methods. A single vendor will be selected to provide all services under the Master Agreement.

The estimated annual expenditure is $300,000. The Master Agreement commences September 1, 2026, for one initial year with the option to automatically renew for four successive one-year periods, not to exceed five years total. Pricing must remain firm for the initial agreement term; renewal period pricing requires maximum percentage increase quotes.

The contractor must comply with Texas A&M's Standard Terms and Conditions, provide comprehensive insurance prior to work commencement (Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability with minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, Business Auto Liability of $1 million, and Excess/Umbrella Liability ensuring combined limits of $5 million), and designate the Board of Regents for the Texas A&M University System as an additional insured. Responses must include three professional references from the past two years and firm unit pricing for all line items. Award will be based on best value criteria including price, vendor reputation, quality, service delivery capability, past performance, compliance with historically underutilized business requirements, and long-term cost implications. Failure to submit a comprehensive State of Texas Subcontracting Plan may result in rejection as non-responsive.
