State Bridge Fiber Wrap Services (2025)

Dane County, Wisconsin is seeking bids for State Bridge Fiber Wrap Services for project B-13-0588, specifically involving bridge repair work on USH 51 Northbound over Bear Tree Parkway. The procurement involves comprehensive bridge girder repair services, including 80 square feet of non-structural fiber wrap reinforcing, 11 square feet of concrete surface repair, and one instance of concrete girder cleaning and sealing. The project requires contractors to perform specialized structural rehabilitation work, with a focus on restoring damaged prestressed concrete girders using specific material specifications, including concrete with 4,000 PSI compressive strength and fiber wrap reinforcement to be stained in AMS Standard Color 30059 (Bronze). Key procurement dates include vendor questions due by August 21, 2025, and final proposal submissions due August 27, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with project completion required by October 31, 2025. Evaluation criteria will consider cost, past performance, service capability, and overall responsiveness, with the county reserving the right to accept or reject any bid.

The procurement includes local vendor preference provisions that provide potential advantages to Dane County-based, regionally-based, and Wisconsin-based vendors. Bidders must submit a certificate of insurance, comply with safety standards, and provide a performance bond equal to 100% of the contracted amount. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability in bridge repair, fiber wrap installation, and concrete restoration techniques. The pricing proposal requires detailed unit costs for concrete surface repair, girder cleaning and sealing, fiber wrap reinforcing, and traffic control. Though an exact budget range is not specified, the project involves precise technical specifications and will likely require specialized engineering and construction expertise. Contractors will need to demonstrate proficiency in structural repair methods, material application techniques, and compliance with Wisconsin Department of Transportation engineering standards.
