Traffic delineators

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services is soliciting bids for a traffic delineator procurement opportunity specifically targeting Grafton County and other New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) districts. The procurement involves purchasing 11,500 6-inch delineator posts and 100 7-inch delineator posts to be distributed across three NHDOT district locations: District 2 in Enfield (1,500 6" and 100 7" posts), District 3 in Moultonborough (8,000 6" posts), and District 4 in Swanzey (2,000 6" posts). The delineator posts must meet stringent technical specifications, including being manufactured from flanged channel section steel conforming to ASTM A 36, galvanized according to AASHTO M 111, with specific weight, hole, and length requirements. Key procurement dates include bid distribution on 5/23/2025, last day for questions on 5/28/2025, state responses to questions by 6/3/2025, and bid closing on 6/6/2025 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. Vendors are expected to deliver materials within 10-12 weeks after receiving the purchase order, with specific delivery instructions requiring 48-hour advance notice.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, but it does emphasize environmentally friendly product considerations, encouraging vendors to supply materials with characteristics such as energy efficiency, reusability, recyclability, and postconsumer recycled content. The state reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest cost bidder meeting specifications, with vendors required to provide a completed offer sheet detailing unit and extended costs. Alternate manufacturers or models may be proposed if vendors can demonstrate equivalent or superior quality. The contract includes a minimum one-year warranty or manufacturer's standard warranty period, with payment terms of 30 days after invoice/delivery. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement involves purchasing 11,600 total delineator posts across multiple NHDOT districts, suggesting a significant infrastructure investment. Vendors must comply with state procurement rules, environmental regulations, and provide necessary documentation such as Safety Data Sheets to be considered for the one-time order.
