Retroreflective Vinyl Sheeting and Misc. Sign Making Materials

The Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA) is soliciting bids for a contract to purchase retroreflective vinyl sheeting and miscellaneous sign making materials under solicitation #240988. The procurement is a Request for Bids (RFB) for various vinyl sheeting products, including translucent reflective yellow and white vinyl, overlay vinyl sheeting, and printer ink for a TrafficJet Expert Printer. The contract will have an initial three-year term with one optional two-year renewal period. Key procurement dates include the RFB issue date of 08/06/24, pre-bid questions due by 08/13/24, bid submission deadline of 08/27/24, and a public bid opening on the same date. The estimated quantities cover a five-year period and include 45 rolls of yellow reflective vinyl, 15 rolls of white vinyl, 20 rolls of white and blue vinyl, and 10 each of various colored printer inks. Evaluation criteria will focus on lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing based on a markup over cost method. Bidders must specify their maximum markup percentage and submit comprehensive documentation including a Business Information Questionnaire and Safety Verification Form.

The procurement includes a 5% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal, with bidders encouraged to achieve voluntary participation of 30% or more to potentially receive SBE equalization credits. Bidders must complete a Subcontractor Acknowledgment Form for each subcontractor or SBE supplier, providing detailed information about their business, ownership, and work to be performed. The contract emphasizes compliance with federal and state regulations, including anti-discrimination and human trafficking laws. Failure to complete required documentation may result in bid rejection. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a significant contract value covering materials and associated services. The WCAA will not charge for delivery, and all pricing must be all-inclusive, covering labor, travel, materials, equipment, and related expenses. The ultimate contract award will be determined by the total bid amount, incorporating SBE equalization credits, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
