Pavement Striping and Marking

Jefferson County, Colorado is seeking bids for a comprehensive pavement striping and marking project (Bid Number 25-15864AP-RB) to be performed throughout unincorporated county areas during the 2026 fiscal year. The procurement involves road marking services across arterial, collector, and residential streets, with estimated quantities including 17,000 gallons of water-based paint marking, 950 gallons of epoxy paint marking, 700 square feet of preformed thermoplastic word symbol markings, and 5,400 square feet of preformed thermoplastic crosswalk and stop bar markings. Bidders must comply with Colorado Department of Transportation standards, MUTCD guidelines, and provide comprehensive documentation including a Qualifications Questionnaire, insurance certificates, W-9, and project list. The bid submission deadline is October 30, 2025 at 10:00 a.m., with questions due by October 13, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, vendor qualifications, and ability to perform work across diverse geographical environments including residential, commercial, industrial, and rural areas requiring complex traffic control strategies.

The contract allows for potential cooperative purchasing, enabling other local government agencies to potentially utilize the contract pricing. Bidders must be licensed in Colorado, have an AM Best rating of B+ or higher, and provide labor and performance bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount. Insurance requirements are rigorous, mandating comprehensive coverage including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and excess/umbrella liability insurance with specific endorsements. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise set-asides are explicitly mentioned, the county requires vendors to use insurers licensed in Colorado and reserves the right to reject insurers or insurance policies deemed financially unacceptable. The contract offers a one-year initial term with options for four additional one-year renewals, and while no precise budget range is specified, the detailed bid sheet and scope of work suggest a substantial infrastructure investment. Liquidated damages of $500 per day will be assessed for delays beyond the specified completion date, and the contractor must employ at least 80% Colorado labor.
