Road Restriping - 2026

Putnam County Board of County Commissioners is requesting sealed bids for road restriping of centerlines and edge lines on various county roadways under Bid No. 26-17, with bids due September 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 26, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. at the Government Complex in Palatka, Florida — attendance is required to be considered a responsive bidder.

The scope consists of furnishing all materials and equipment to provide durable painted or thermoplastic striping applied per current FDOT and County standards, including traffic control programs, roadway sweeping or blowing, and ancillary incidentals. No separate payment is made for mobilization, maintenance of traffic, surface preparation, or traffic control; all such costs are included in the lump-sum bid price.

Qualified bidders must have successfully completed at least two similar projects as a prime contractor or subcontractor, been in business for at least three years, and worked under the same company name for a minimum of two years, holding all necessary state and local licenses and certifications. Minimum insurance coverage required includes workers compensation at statutory limits, automobile liability at one million dollars combined single limit, and comprehensive general liability at one million dollars per occurrence.

The contract term begins October 13, 2026 and concludes January 25, 2027 (90 days from the preconstruction conference), with Putnam County retaining the option to extend by mutual consent. Bidders must submit one original hard copy, one duplicate copy, and one USB drive with all documentation in PDF format. A bid bond equal to 5 percent of the total bid amount is required; performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract price are required upon award. The county will issue an intent to award on September 21, 2026, with a protest period from September 21–24. Award will be made to the lowest and best proposal meeting or exceeding bid specifications, though the county reserves the right to reject any or all bids.
