Parking/Road Sealing and Striping

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife, is seeking a contractor to perform parking lot sealing and striping services across seven fishing access locations in Ohio, specifically targeting parking areas in Putnam and Williams Counties. The project encompasses 391,848 square feet of asphalt surface preparation, which includes comprehensive tasks such as cleaning pavement surfaces with forced air and brooming, sealing cracks 3/8 inches and larger using hot rubberized sealant, applying SealMaster coal tar sealer, and re-striping all markings with yellow acrylic water-based traffic paint. Contractors must complete work Monday through Thursday with phased scheduling to maintain public access, with specific site closures noted for certain locations after Memorial Day. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on total lot cost, calculated by multiplying unit costs by estimated usage. Site visits can be arranged by contacting Mike Wilkerson at (419) 429-8375, and all project questions must be submitted through Ohio Buys. The final deliverables are due by June 30, 2026, with the bid due date set for December 12, 2025.

The procurement encourages utilization of Ohio-certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) vendors. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4115, paying laborers and mechanics local prevailing wage rates as determined by the Ohio Department of Commerce. The contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, and contractors must complete various documentation such as the OPERS Independent Contractor Form and Affirmation and Disclosure Form. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves multiple locations totaling nearly 392,000 square feet of surface treatment. Contractors must demonstrate capability in surface preparation, crack sealing, sealcoating, and pavement striping, with alternative sealer brands requiring prior written approval supported by technical data sheets. The contract is subject to Ohio ethics laws, drug-free workplace requirements, and will be governed by Ohio law, with any potential litigation to be brought in Franklin County courts.
