Paving markings services

The City of College Park, Georgia, is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive pavement marking and striping services through Invitation to Bid (ITB 26-12) covering Fulton County and Colquitt City jurisdictions. The procurement aims to secure a contractor capable of delivering roadway marking services, including safety management, materials, and labor for various markings such as turning lane arrows. Bidders must be prequalified with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) as a Contractor or Sub-Contractor and possess a minimum of three years of verifiable experience in road improvement projects. The evaluation process will be weighted with 60 points allocated to technical merit and 40 points to cost proposal, with the contract awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder. Key submission dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on August 27, 2025, at 10:00 am EST, and bid submissions due by September 17, 2025, at 3:00 pm EST. The initial contract term is two years, with options to renew for four additional one-year terms, and the City reserves the right to cancel the contract at any time. Technical requirements include specific retroreflectivity standards for both thermoplastic and paint striping, with detailed performance metrics for white and yellow markings over 30-day and 6-month periods.

The City demonstrates a commitment to inclusive procurement by encouraging participation from minority, woman-owned, and small businesses, with a local preference policy potentially providing a price advantage to businesses located within College Park's city limits. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly stated, the procurement appears designed to accommodate diverse business sizes and ownership structures. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no specific references to required technology integrations. The solicitation requests all-in pricing for roadway marking services, though no explicit budget range or award value is provided in the available documentation. Interested contractors must carefully review the technical specifications, particularly the retroreflectivity requirements and performance metrics, to ensure compliance with the City's stringent marking standards. Potential bidders should note the importance of GDOT prequalification and the comprehensive nature of the services required, which extend beyond simple line painting to include comprehensive roadway marking solutions.
