Pavement Markings

The City of Pittsburgh's Office of Management and Budget, on behalf of the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure, is soliciting competitive sealed bids through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #2022-IFB-080 for comprehensive pavement marking services. The procurement encompasses installation of various pavement markings including lines of multiple widths (4", 6", 8", 12", 18", and 24"), directional arrows, symbols, and specialized markings such as bike lane designations, pedestrian crossings, and bus lane markings in both white and yellow colors. Bidders must provide unit pricing for materials with installation, with pricing differentiated for projects under $25,000 (without prevailing wage requirements) and projects exceeding $25,000 (requiring prevailing wage compliance). The contract period runs from April 15, 2022, through March 31, 2023, with two one-year renewal options available. Questions regarding the solicitation were due by April 4, 2022, with electronic bid submissions required by April 8, 2022, at 3:00 pm. The bid includes provisions for additional materials and labor with cost-plus markup options and minimum discounts from list prices, and bidders must demonstrate compliance with prevailing wage regulations and applicable municipal code provisions.

The City of Pittsburgh has established participation goals for minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs), women-owned business enterprises (WBEs), and veteran-owned business enterprises (VEBEs), and all bidders must commit to equal opportunity participation in accordance with municipal requirements. Bidders are required to comply with prevailing wage regulations for applicable work scopes, particularly for projects exceeding the $25,000 threshold. No specific incumbent vendor information or existing infrastructure integration requirements are detailed in the available solicitation documents. While specific award values or budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the summary materials provided, the tiered pricing structure (under and over $25,000 projects) suggests the city anticipates multiple contract awards or variable project scopes throughout the contract period.
