Polymer Overlay for Bridges - 2024 State Project

Dane County, Wisconsin is seeking bids for a Polymer Overlay for Bridges - 2024 State Project, specifically targeting Bridge B-13-639 located on County Highway I over Interstate 39/90/94. The procurement is a Request for Bid (RFB #2024-RFB-027-PR) for applying a comprehensive two-component polymer overlay system to a total project area of 10,965 square feet. The project requires precise technical implementation, including two layers of polymer overlay with specific material specifications for resin, hardener, and aggregate, adhering to Wisconsin Department of Transportation standards. Vendor questions are due by April 30, 2024, with final proposal submissions required by May 8, 2024, at 2:00 pm. The project must be completed by August 31, 2024, with work permitted during single lane closures from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm Monday through Friday. Bidders must provide detailed documentation including product data sheets, certified test reports, and will be evaluated based on cost, past performance, service capability, and other relevant criteria. The contract will be awarded to the most advantageous bidder.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does indicate compliance with local vendor preference and fair labor practice regulations. Bidders are required to provide evidence of insurance and submit a bid bond as part of their proposal. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves integration with existing highway infrastructure. The bid requires a line-item pricing approach, with costs to be broken down into polymer overlay application, mobilization, and traffic control expenses. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the technical complexity and precise engineering requirements suggest a significant infrastructure investment. Prospective bidders must demonstrate technical expertise in polymer overlay application, compliance with WisDOT standards, and the capability to execute a specialized bridge surface restoration project within the prescribed timeframe and specifications.
