Sign Materials

The City of Jersey City, located in Hudson County, New Jersey, is soliciting bids for a comprehensive Sign Materials contract through a paper-submission public bid process. The procurement aims to secure a responsible contractor to furnish and deliver a diverse range of sign materials for the city's Department of Public Works. The contract is structured as an open-end agreement with an initial twelve-month term and potential renewal for one additional year. The bid covers 26 different sign material items, including transfer tape, coroplast sheets, banners, squeegees, vinyl films, and reflective materials, with specified minimum and maximum quantity ranges for each item. The bid submission deadline is July 10, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with strict requirements for original signatures and complete documentation. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of all addenda, and failure to do so may result in bid rejection. Evaluation criteria include comprehensive compliance with state and local regulations, submission of required certifications, and provision of a bid guarantee of 10% of the total bid (not exceeding $20,000).

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard equal employment opportunity and affirmative action requirements are in place. Bidders must submit various mandatory certifications, including non-collusion affidavits and ownership disclosure statements, and maintain specific insurance coverages. The contract will be awarded to a single contractor who bids on all items in Lot 1, with payment based on actual quantities used and not exceeding the maximum quantities specified. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract includes detailed business registration guidelines and regulatory compliance requirements. The pricing structure is unit-based, with bidders required to provide unit amounts for each of the 26 sign material items. Though a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the open-end nature of the contract and the broad range of sign materials suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity for a qualified vendor.
