Painting Traffic Lines and Markings

The Town of Acushnet, Massachusetts, located in Bristol County, is seeking bids for a comprehensive traffic line and pavement marking project for fiscal year 2026. The municipal invitation for bids (IFB) targets a contractor to provide extensive pavement marking services, which include painting traffic lanes, edge lines, stop bars, parking bays, handicap zones, crosswalks, and various stenciled markings. Specific deliverables require unit pricing for different line widths (4-inch, 6-inch, 12-inch) and specialized stencils such as railroad crossings, stop signs, school zones, and handicap symbols. The bid will be evaluated based on the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the contract intended to be completed by November 15, 2025. Formal bid submissions are due on July 29, 2025, at 10:30 AM, to be submitted directly to the Selectmen's Office at 122 Main Street, Acushnet. The town reserves the right to extend or modify contract terms as necessary.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidding contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and an umbrella liability of $2,000,000. Additional required certifications include non-collusion documentation, tax compliance verification, and labor harmony documentation. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the detailed unit pricing structure suggests the potential for a flexible, performance-based contract. The town will evaluate potential contractors not only on pricing but also on their ability to meet technical specifications, insurance requirements, and demonstrate professional capability in traffic line and pavement marking services.
