On call full depth patching-spartanburg

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for on-call full-depth asphalt patching services specifically targeting Spartanburg County. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive asphalt patching services, including material, labor, and equipment for removing, hauling, placing, and compacting hot mix asphalt at various county locations. The solicitation covers three asphalt mixture types (Surface Type C, Intermediate C, and Base Type C), with estimated annual quantities of 1,000 tons for each mixture type, plus eight mobilization units per year. Bidders must submit proposals online through the SCDOT procurement website by August 31, 2023, at 2:30 p.m., with questions due by August 17, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. The contract term is set for three years, from September 18, 2023, through September 17, 2026, with potential automatic one-year renewal options. Pricing must be submitted on a per-ton basis for asphalt mixtures and per-mobilization basis, with minimum project requirements of at least 40 tons of materials. Contractors must comply with SCDOT 2007 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction and follow designated asphalt mix design guidelines.

No specific set-asides or minority business enterprise requirements are explicitly outlined in the solicitation, though the document requests information on minority business involvement. A Labor and Material Payment Bond is mandatory for any task order or purchase order exceeding $50,000. Pricing must remain fixed for the initial contract term, with potential price adjustments for renewal terms requiring ninety days' notice and sufficient justification. While no specific budget range is provided, the estimated annual material quantities suggest a significant procurement value. The contract is subject to approval by the South Carolina Transportation Secretary, and contractors must be prepared to disclose and mitigate any potential organizational conflicts of interest. Notably, the procurement includes an amendment addressing organizational conflict provisions, with the state reserving the right to terminate the contract for convenience if such conflicts cannot be adequately resolved. The solicitation indicates that the state will add applicable sales or use taxes to non-governmental bids when determining the lowest bid.
