Rolling steel doors- aiken county

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is seeking a contractor to furnish and install rolling steel service doors at three salt shed locations in Aiken County. The project involves removing existing doors, replacing door jambs with 1" x 6" wood replacements, and installing five new face-mount rolling steel service doors across three facilities: one door at Aiken Maintenance, two doors at Beech Island Shed, and two doors at Wagener Shed. The doors must be constructed of 22-gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel, operate by hand chain, withstand 20 pounds per square foot windload, and feature a tan polyester paint finish. A mandatory site visit was originally scheduled for December 18, 2018, with visits to all three locations at specified times. The solicitation requires unit pricing for removal, jamb replacement, and door installation, with offers initially due January 4, 2019, and subsequently extended to January 18, 2019, at 2:30 PM. Questions from potential offerors were to be submitted by December 20, 2018, at 12:00 PM, directed to procurement officer Candis Golston. The contract term is estimated to run from January 11, 2019, through January 10, 2020, with a delivery deadline of March 30, 2019.

Bidders may claim South Carolina resident vendor preferences, resident contractor preferences, and resident subcontractor preferences in accordance with state regulations. Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, auto liability coverage of $1,000,000 per accident, and workers' compensation insurance as required by South Carolina law. All vendors must register with the state and obtain a South Carolina vendor number prior to bid submission. Nonresident contractors may be subject to 2% income tax withholding unless they register an exemption with the South Carolina Department of Revenue. Bidders must be licensed by the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR) and possess a General Contractor's license. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with offers to be submitted online through the South Carolina Enterprise Information System. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the project involves five door installations across three locations, suggesting a moderate-scale infrastructure improvement project for the county's maintenance facilities.
