Request for Preformed Thermoplastic for Pavement Markings

Sarasota County is conducting a procurement for preformed thermoplastic pavement markings through a quick quote solicitation, specifically targeting materials for various roadways within Sarasota County and Siesta Key CDP. The county seeks 375 total boxes of thermoplastic marking materials, comprising 325 white boxes and 50 yellow boxes, each box containing 3' x 12" lines with 30 linear feet per box. The materials must meet FDOT Section 711 specifications, with a required thickness of TMTG 0.125 inch or 125 Mils. Bidders must submit electronic responses through the ProcureNow portal by March 31, 2025, at 2:30 pm, with a deadline for questions set at March 27, 2025. The evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and the lowest total bid price, with a strict purchase limit of $50,000. Potential suppliers must provide references demonstrating experience with the specified products and use the reference form in OpenGov Procurement. All materials must be new, comply with federal, state, and local regulations, and come with a minimum one-year warranty from the county's acceptance date.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or specific restrictions on respondent types. Delivery will be made to the Sarasota County Operations Center at 1001 Sarasota Center Boulevard, Sarasota, FL 34240, with Ronald Locke (Sign Supervisor) serving as a primary contact. The county reserves the right to purchase additional quantities at the quoted unit price within 30 days of the award and potentially extend pricing for up to one year if the vendor agrees. In the event no responsive quotes are received under the $50,000 threshold, the county may cancel the solicitation and re-solicit using an alternative procurement method.
