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 in Spartanburg County. The solicitation seeks a contractor to perform turnkey road maintenance work, including removal, hauling, placement, and compaction of hot mix asphalt for full depth patches, leveling, bridge approaches, and resurfacing. Estimated annual quantities include 1,000 tons each of Surface Type C, Intermediate Type C, and Base Type C asphalt mixture, with eight mobilization events per year. The contract will span three years from October 24, 2023, through October 23, 2026, with potential automatic annual renewals. Bidders must submit offers online by September 26, 2023, at 14:30 EST, with questions due by September 15, 2023, at 12:00 EST. Contractors must comply with SCDOT's 2007 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction and provide all necessary equipment, including mechanical pavers, proper hauling vehicles, and specific compaction equipment. The low bid will be determined by summing extended prices, with minimum project requirements of at least 40 tons of materials per location.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were mentioned in the solicitation documents. For purchase orders exceeding $50,000, contractors must provide a labor and material payment bond from a surety company with an "A" minimum rating within 10 days of issuance. Contractors are required to maintain all necessary licenses and permits, provide indemnification to state and local entities, and comply with prevailing wage and tax withholding requirements. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly stated, the contract's scope suggests a potentially significant annual investment in road maintenance infrastructure. The contract includes provisions for additional mobilization fees if the paver must move more than one mile between patches without paving, indicating flexibility in project execution. The procurement is handled directly by SCDOT's Procurement Office, with Tamika Thomas identified as the procurement officer responsible for the solicitation.
