The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is requesting bids on pavement marking waterborne traffic paint in white, yellow, and black meeting UDOT standard specification 02765 under IFB Reference #UDOT270067MP, with bids due October 16, 2026. UDOT anticipates a single award per container size (250, 300, or 345 gallons) with no guaranteed minimum purchase volume; the contract term is three years with two optional one-year renewals.

Bidders must demonstrate compliance with detailed chemical and performance specifications: minimum 60–62 percent pigment content by weight (white paint requires minimum 1.0 pound per gallon titanium dioxide; yellow paint maximum 0.2 pounds per gallon), total solids of 77 percent by weight, viscosity of 80–95 Krebs units at 77 degrees Fahrenheit, volatile organic content not exceeding 100 grams per liter, no-pick-up time of three minutes maximum, and no-track time of ten minutes maximum per ASTM D-711. Glass beads must meet minimum roundness of 80 percent true spheres, average Knoop hardness of 527 or greater, refractive index of at least 1.51, and heavy metal concentrations limited to 200 parts per million for arsenic, antimony, and lead. Paint must be delivered within 30 calendar days of order with penalties of 5 percent discount per 14 days beyond 60 days (maximum 20 percent reduction); received paint cannot be older than 90 days from manufacture. Totes must be lined, equipped with quick couplers, stackable two-high when full, and remain supplier property. Seller errors must be corrected within 14 calendar days; penalties for improperly filled totes range from $100 to $500 per occurrence.

Award basis is lowest total cost calculated on estimated statewide annual use across all line items, with pricing delivered on a cost-per-gallon basis across six designated delivery regions. Pricing must be guaranteed for one year from award; subsequent price adjustments require 30 days' notice and documentation demonstrating logical mathematical linkage. Bidders must complete certifications regarding debarment history, conflicts of interest, and tax liens; submit vendor setup information and W-9; and accept agency terms and conditions.
