Utility Marking Contract

The District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT) is seeking a contractor for a Utility Marking Contract, which involves comprehensive utility location and marking services. The primary responsibility of the selected vendor will be to investigate, locate, and mark utility infrastructure in response to requests from homeowners, excavators, and developers through the One Call Contractor (Miss Utility). This critical service ensures safe excavation by precisely identifying underground utility lines before ground-disturbing activities commence. While the specific technical qualifications are not detailed in the provided documentation, the contractor must demonstrate expertise in utility detection, mapping, and marking methodologies. The contract opportunity was initially posted on January 17, 2003, with an unusually listed due date of December 30, 1899, which appears to be an administrative error in the documentation.

The contract documentation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or specific vendor restrictions. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available information. Similarly, no specific budget range or award value is provided in the contract details. The absence of precise financial parameters suggests that interested vendors would need to contact DDOT directly for more comprehensive procurement information. The contract appears to be an ongoing service requirement for utility location and marking, which is essential for infrastructure safety and development projects within the District of Columbia. Potential bidders would likely need specialized equipment for underground utility detection and a workforce trained in precise utility mapping and marking techniques.
