Pavement markings anderson county

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is seeking a contractor for pavement markings in Anderson County through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation. The project involves applying reflectorized paint pavement markings, specifically 4-inch white and yellow lines, including both solid and skip lines, with estimated quantities of 10,000 linear feet for each line type. Deliverables include mobilization, surface preparation, line application, and glass bead reflectorization on various pavement surfaces such as Portland cement concrete, asphalt, and brick. Contractors must use fast-dry waterborne paint, apply markings with truck-mounted traveling applicators, and ensure uniform 15-mil wet film thickness with simultaneous glass bead application. Key qualifications include maintaining Commercial General Liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence), auto liability coverage ($1,000,000 per accident), and workers' compensation insurance. The bid opening is scheduled for September 30, 2020, at 2:30 p.m., with questions due by September 10, 2020, at 12:00 p.m. The initial contract term runs from October 30, 2020, through October 29, 2025, with potential one-year automatic renewals.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the solicitation. Vendor registration with the state is mandatory prior to bid submission, and bidders must identify their entity type (sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, etc.). The procurement allows for fixed pricing during the initial five-year contract term, with potential Consumer Price Index adjustments for renewal periods. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the contract includes provisions for unit pricing, with payments based on linear footage for lines and per-symbol count for arrows, words, and symbols. The SCDOT reserves the right to make award contingent upon approval by the South Carolina Transportation Secretary. Contractors must comply with SCDOT Standard Specifications Section 625, the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and applicable federal and state regulations. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the solicitation includes line items for mobilization and various pavement marking configurations, suggesting a comprehensive scope of work for Anderson County's transportation infrastructure maintenance.
