D-11 Districtwide Graffiti Removal Services

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for an established price contract to provide graffiti removal services on state-owned property and facilities adjacent to state highways in Allegheny, Beaver, and Lawrence Counties, with a primary focus on bridge structures in Allegheny County. This is a restricted small business procurement, meaning only bidders with a valid Department of General Services small business certification are eligible for award. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to award by line item. The initial term is for two years, with two optional one-year renewal periods that may include a price increase of up to 3% upon approval. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, and equipment to remove graffiti using chemical cleaning or propelled abrasives, ensuring final surfaces blend with the surrounding area. Specific quality standards mandate that painted areas be cleaned from ground level to the highest point of graffiti with clean, straight lines. Performance timelines are strict, requiring mobilization within 72 hours of notification, onsite presence by the next calendar day, and job completion within 15 business days. Payments are processed via Automated Clearing House (ACH) upon the submission of itemized Form OS-501. Contractors must comply with various state and federal regulations, including the Prevailing Wage Act, Davis-Bacon Act, and Executive Order 2021-06 regarding worker protection.
