About this opportunity

Dorchester County is seeking qualified firms to submit bids for the US Highway 27 Improvements Project, an infrastructure development initiative partially funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA Investment #04-79-07563). The project involves widening Highway 27 between US Highway 78 and I-26, with comprehensive roadway construction activities including clearing and grubbing, earthwork, drainage installation, asphalt paving, pavement marking, signing, and traffic control. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB No. 2026-10), with specific technical requirements based on SCDOT 2025 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. Key deliverables include 11,925 cubic yards of unclassified excavation, 7,850 tons of hot mix asphalt base course, and various pavement markings and signage. The project timeline spans 365 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with final completion required within 90 calendar days after substantial completion. Critical dates include September 24, 2025, as the last day for questions, and October 10, 2025, as the bid opening date. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation, including a Statement of Qualifications, Subcontractor Data Form, and various compliance certifications.

The contract requires bidders to provide bid security for at least 5% of the total bid amount and furnish performance and payment bonds. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid documents emphasize compliance with federal and state regulations, including equal employment opportunity requirements and immigration labor standards. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating specific coverage minimums for general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. Although the exact project budget is not specified, the detailed line-item bid structure and extensive scope suggest a significant infrastructure investment. The project appears to be open to all qualified firms that can meet the technical specifications and regulatory compliance requirements, with no apparent restrictions limiting bidder participation. Prospective contractors must demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and adherence to the complex set of construction and administrative specifications outlined in the project documents.
