The City of Santa Monica's Department of Transportation (SaMoDOT) is seeking vendors to furnish and deliver preformed thermoplastic pavement markings for street and road applications through a competitive bid process. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of pavement marking products, including 8' legends (STOP, AHEAD, CLEAR, KEEP, ONLY, PED, XING), arrows, yield lines, lines, bicycle rider symbols, and related sealer and primer products in both white and green thermoplastic materials. The solicitation was released on April 25, 2025, with bidder questions due by April 30, 2025, and responses to be posted by May 5, 2025. The final bid submission deadline is set for May 8, 2025, at 3:00 pm Pacific Time.

The city desires the option to extend the contract for four additional one-year renewal periods at the same price, terms, and conditions. Vendors must submit various forms and documentation, including business licenses, insurance certificates, and compliance declarations.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations, though bidders must comply with non-discrimination policies, the Oaks Initiative disclosure, and debarment certification requirements. Vendors will need to demonstrate compliance with local and federal regulations, and the successful bidder will be subject to additional documentation requirements. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the bid includes a detailed pricing proposal with 16 line items covering various thermoplastic pavement marking quantities. The contract will serve jurisdictions including Los Angeles County and San Francisco City, with the primary focus on the City of Santa Monica's Mobility Division, Traffic Operations. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation, including proof of authorized dealership, and will be required to maintain appropriate insurance coverage. The procurement is structured to ensure competitive pricing and quality of pavement marking products, with flexibility for potential multi-year engagement through the option of four one-year contract extensions.
