The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for on-call paving operations in Chesterfield County. The solicitation seeks a contractor to provide hourly paving services, specifically requiring one paver, one roller, one tack truck, and three operators to overlay roadway sections that SCDOT cannot complete internally. The contract term spans five years, from August 27, 2020, through August 26, 2025, with potential automatic one-year renewal periods. Bidders must submit sealed bids with unit prices for hourly paving services across five separate line items, corresponding to each contract year. Key deliverables include roadway paving services, with SCDOT responsible for supplying hot asphalt, traffic control, and debris cleanup. The solicitation was issued on August 3, 2020, with critical deadlines including August 11, 2020, for questions and August 17, 2020, at 2:30 PM for offer submissions. The contract award is expected to be posted on August 24, 2020.

Vendor registration is mandatory for this opportunity, and contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability per occurrence, $1,000,000 in Auto Liability per accident, and Workers' Compensation with Statutory Limits. The State reserves the right to add sales or use tax when determining the lowest bid for non-governmental entities. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the procurement is open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical and insurance requirements. Bids can be submitted online or via sealed mail to the SCDOT Procurement Office in Columbia, South Carolina. The solicitation is publicly available on www.procurement.sc.gov. Although specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract structure suggests a potential multi-year engagement with flexible hourly pricing for paving services across Chesterfield County.
