The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is soliciting bids for the 2026 Marlboro County roadway resurfacing project, identified by solicitation number 3577310, with a letting date and bid submission deadline of August 11, 2026. The project involves the rehabilitation of 4.42 miles of roadway in Marlboro County, including full-depth asphalt patching prior to milling, milling of the existing surface and bridges, resurfacing with asphalt, widening of travel lanes on both sides, installation of milled-in rumble strips, and comprehensive pavement marking and traffic signal loop placement. All work must comply with the SCDOT Specifications for Highway Construction (2025 Edition), the SCDOT Construction Manual (2004 Edition and revisions), and the latest edition of the FHWA Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The project is governed by a unit price contract structure, and the completion date is set for June 30, 2027, with contractors required to execute the contract and begin work within twenty days of award. Bids must be submitted electronically via the Bid Express portal by authorized prequalified prime contractors, accompanied by an electronic bid bond of five percent of the bid amount on SCDOT Form 674. Non-compliance with mandatory certifications—including active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), adherence to the Iran Divestment Act list, compliance with South Carolina laws regarding unauthorized aliens and employment verification, maintenance of a drug-free workplace, and certification of non-collusion—will render a bid non-responsive and ineligible for award. The project mandates strict environmental controls under SCDOT’s NPDES Permit SCR160000, prohibiting disturbance of more than five acres without stabilization, and requires full implementation of the NIST Risk Management Framework for all parties with access to SCDOT data. Specialty items such as pavement markings, signalization, milling, rumble strips, signage, and grassing are permitted to be subcontracted if they constitute less than thirty percent of the total contract value. Contractors must maintain safety standards, including Class 3 high-visibility apparel for nighttime flaggers, and face $500 per day in liquidated damages for unauthorized work suspensions. Inquiries must be submitted by July 29, 2026, and all proposals will be publicly opened on August 11, 2026, at SCDOT headquarters in Columbia. Awards
