On-call sidewalk repair-district 6

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid for an on-call sidewalk repair contract in District 6, covering Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, and Jasper Counties. The solicitation requires contractors to perform comprehensive sidewalk, curb, gutter, and pedestrian infrastructure repairs, including removal, disposal, and replacement of existing concrete infrastructure. Specific deliverables include 4-inch and 6-inch concrete sidewalks, concrete curb and gutter, ADA pedestrian ramps, detectable warning surfaces, and concrete islands across six county-specific lots. The contract mandates that all concrete must be supplied by an SCDOT Approved Supplier from Qualified Product List 28, and contractors must submit job mix designs for prior approval. Key bid details include a bid opening date of October 21, 2021, at 2:30 p.m., with questions due by October 14, 2021, at 2:30 p.m. Award notification is scheduled for November 4, 2021, with a three-year contract term from November 18, 2021, through November 17, 2024.

The procurement is open to qualified contractors who can meet specific insurance and certification requirements, including maintaining Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and Auto Liability insurance of $1,000,000. Contractors must register as state vendors and provide certifications regarding debarment, drug-free workplace compliance, ethics compliance, and independent price determination. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the solicitation follows state procurement regulations under Section 11-35-710(1). Awards will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the low bid calculated by summing extended prices. Contractors must also comply with District 6 hourly restrictions for lane closures and follow traffic control guidelines per the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contract, which covers six counties and includes multiple infrastructure repair types, suggests a significant potential contract value over the three-year term.
