On-call paint pavement markings GVL

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is seeking bids for an on-call reflectorized paint pavement markings contract in Greenville County, covering Interstate, Primary, and Secondary routes. The solicitation requires contractors to provide comprehensive pavement marking services, including furnishing all materials, labor, traffic control, and mobilization for applying various types of paint markings. Specific line items include white and yellow solid and skip lines in 4", 6", and 8" widths, with precise quantity requirements such as 5,179,864 linear feet of 4" white solid lines and 38,000 square feet of yellow island radius end paint. The offer submission deadline is January 4, 2024, at 2:30 p.m., with questions due by December 12, 2023, at noon. The initial contract term runs from January 19, 2024, to January 18, 2029, with potential automatic one-year renewal periods. Contractors must perform work during daylight hours on non-holiday weekdays and demonstrate the capability to complete tasks within the specified timeframes.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Pricing will be evaluated based on unit prices, with the low bid determined by summing extended prices across all line items. Contractors must be registered as state vendors and may be eligible for price preferences, though these do not apply to this specific solicitation. For task orders exceeding $50,000, contractors must provide a labor and material payment bond issued by a South Carolina-licensed surety. The contract includes a detailed performance monitoring process with potential daily penalties ranging from $500 to $1,000 per offense for non-compliance. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the extensive line item quantities suggest a substantial contract value. The procurement is subject to final approval by the South Carolina Transportation Secretary, with performance subject to ongoing monitoring by the SCDOT Engineer.
