Pavement Marking Continuing Services

Palm Beach County, Florida is soliciting sealed bids for a countywide pavement marking continuing services contract under Project No. 2026057, with bids due September 22, 2026. The Small Business Development Program applies, with an SBE Price Preference that allows certified SBE bids within ten percent of the lowest non-SBE bid to be awarded at their bid price.

The scope includes furnishing and installing extruded alkyd thermoplastic pavement marking material, raised reflectorized pavement markers, traffic paint, preformed cold plastic and binder, and removal of existing pavement markings on a work-order basis countywide. Thermoplastic applications must use ribbon applications for longitudinal or main lines to refurbish existing markings only; no spray applications are acceptable. Pavement markings shall not be applied when air temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or as directed by the Department. All work must comply with Florida Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. When install-only work is specified, Palm Beach County furnishes materials; otherwise, the contractor furnishes all labor, equipment, tools, apparatus, and materials.

The contract is structured with an initial term of eighteen months from board approval, extendable for up to thirty-six months total through mutual written agreement. Work orders are issued on an as-needed basis with individual scopes and completion schedules specified in each order; contractors must commence work within five working days of notice and complete tasks within thirty calendar days or as specified. Pricing is established through unit prices submitted in the proposal with no guaranteed minimum work orders. A total contract value cap is listed on contract page C-1 and may be increased by mutual amendment. Payment is made on a progress basis without retainage, and contractors must pay subcontractors within ten days of receiving payment.

Bidders must be FDOT pre-qualified or submit a qualifications and experience package, maintain an active Florida business license, register in the County's Vendor Self Service system, and comply with E-Verify requirements. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 3, 2026 at 2:00 PM at the Engineering and Public Works Department, 2300 North Jog Road, West Palm Beach, with a Webex option available. Questions are due prior to the pre-bid meeting. Bid bonds are waived for bids under $50,000 and may be waived for bids between $50,000 and $200,000 if participating in the Bond Waiver Program.
