SCDMV CONWAY PLEXIGLASS INSTALLATION

The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) has issued a solicitation for custom plexiglass counter barrier installations at their Conway office location, covering fifteen customer service representative workstations. The project requires custom-fabricated side railings and transparent panels constructed from 3/8-inch thick acrylic, with specific dimensional requirements ranging from 23 to 36 inches wide by 32 inches high. Each installation must include an aluminum U-channel border, circular speak-through devices at least 5-5/16 inches in diameter, and a 4-inch pass-through gap for transaction processing. Eleven counters will be configured in a single line with integrated speak-through devices, cutouts for six eye machines, and spaces for credit card readers and signature pads. Key submission deadlines include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit on August 9, 2023, at 11:30 AM, with vendor attendance confirmations due by August 8, 2023, at 4:30 PM. Questions were due by August 10, 2023, at 5:00 PM, and final offers must be submitted online by August 31, 2023, at 11:00 AM, with award notification scheduled for September 6, 2023.

The solicitation allows for South Carolina resident vendor preferences and subcontractor preferences if properly documented. Contractors must maintain specific insurance requirements, including commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, auto liability insurance of $1,000,000 per accident, and worker's compensation insurance as mandated by South Carolina law. The award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with contractors required to obtain approval from SCDMV's Facilities Management Chief and Deputy Director of Branch Services before beginning construction. Contractors are responsible for their own measurements and must restore the workplace to its original condition, with inspections and acceptance to occur within twenty-four hours of project completion and any deficiencies corrected within forty-eight hours of notification. While no specific incumbent vendors are identified, the project requires precise customization of plexiglass barriers across multiple service stations, including a greeter desk and an ADA-compliant station. Invoices will be processed electronically with net thirty-day payment terms, submitted to ap.invoices@scdmv.net upon project completion. No specific budget range or total project value was explicitly stated in the solicitation documents.
