The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is seeking on-call sidewalk repair services for District 6, which encompasses Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, and Jasper Counties. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation number 5400022411 covers comprehensive infrastructure repair and replacement services, including removal, replacement, and disposal of existing sidewalks, curb and gutter, pedestrian ramps, and concrete islands. Specific line items include 4-inch and 6-inch concrete sidewalk repair/replacement, concrete curb and gutter repair, ADA pedestrian ramp installation, detectable warning surface installation, and concrete island construction. Bidders must hold a General Contractors License with either Concrete (CT) or Concrete Paving (CP) classification. The solicitation requires all work to use Class 2500 concrete from an SCDOT Approved Supplier, with contractors responsible for labor, equipment, materials, traffic control, and tree root removal. Key dates include a bid opening on December 7, 2021, at 2:30 p.m., with questions due by December 1, 2021, at 2:30 p.m. The contract is structured as six separate lots, one per county, with award to be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

The procurement does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract term is three years, running from January 3, 2022, to January 2, 2025, with no explicit renewal options mentioned. Bidders must have a state vendor number to submit an offer and must maintain insurance coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence for Commercial General Liability and Auto Liability. The solicitation is exempt from certain procurement code provisions, and no specific preferences are applied. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the contract requires strict compliance with all applicable laws, including regulations on illegal immigration and ethics. Pricing will be evaluated based on unit prices for each line item, with contractors able to bid on one or more of the six county lots. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the extensive scope of work across six counties suggests a substantial infrastructure investment spanning multiple geographic areas within District 6.
