Pavement Markings CD

The City of Pittsburgh's Office of Management and Budget, on behalf of the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure, is soliciting competitive bids through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #2024-IFB-091 for comprehensive pavement marking services designated as Pavement Markings CD. The procurement encompasses installation of various pavement marking types including yellow and white lines, arrows, symbols, bike lane markings, and temporary striping utilizing multiple application methods such as thermoplastic, epoxy, waterborne, and paint applications. The contract period runs from June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2026, with two available one-year renewal options. Bidders must submit detailed pricing proposals with unit prices for materials with installation, additional materials, materials shipped, and labor costs calculated by linear feet, square feet, and per-each markings. Bids are due electronically through the city's procurement portal on May 31, 2024, at 2:00 pm, and must include a 5% bid bond. Required qualifications include completion of a vendor questionnaire, provision of equal opportunity documentation, compliance with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates, and registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, with the city reserving the right to reject any or all bids.

This procurement includes specific set-aside goals to encourage participation from disadvantaged enterprises, with targets of 18% minority-owned business participation, 7% women-owned business participation, and 5% veteran-owned business participation. All contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements effective May 17, 2024, which establish hourly wage rates and fringe benefits varying by trade classification and county; for contracts entered into on or after January 30, 2022, covered workers must receive a minimum of $17.20 per hour in 2024 or the applicable higher wage rate listed in the determination. The solicitation includes federal funding requirements and incorporates provisions from Executive Orders 14026 and 13658 mandating minimum wage standards for workers on federally-covered contracts. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. While specific budget allocation or award value ranges are not explicitly stated in the provided materials, the scope of services for a two-year base contract plus renewal options for citywide pavement marking operations suggests a substantial contract value requiring qualified, bonded contractors with demonstrated capacity in highway and infrastructure marking applications.
