FY27 - Traffic Control Signs

The City of Alcoa is soliciting sealed bids for an annual blanket contract to supply Traffic Control Signs to both the City of Alcoa and the City of Maryville, with the contract period running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Bids must be submitted by 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, to the Alcoa Purchasing Office, with both a hardcopy signed bid and an electronic Excel spreadsheet required for submission; failure to provide either will disqualify the offer. All pricing must include full delivery costs to the City of Alcoa Warehouse at 725 Universal St., Alcoa, TN, with deliveries F.O.B. that location. The signs and related equipment—including U-Channel sign posts, collapsible work zone signs, and heavy-duty sign stands—must comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), using specified materials such as Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting on 0.080-inch aluminum substrates and galvanized steel components. Bidders must also certify under penalty of perjury that they are not listed under the Tennessee Iran Divestment Act and acknowledge that the contract is subject to funding availability. The contract allows for cooperative purchasing by other Tennessee governmental entities, and awards will be made based on a best-value trade-off approach considering vendor experience, product quality, availability, and ability to provide ongoing services, rather than solely on lowest price. No quantitative contract value is provided, as pricing is to be determined by bidder submissions, and no formal FAR clauses, accounting codes, or delivery schedules beyond the annual term are specified. Inspection and acceptance occur at the warehouse upon delivery, with no packaging, labeling, or preservation standards beyond product specifications. The only designated point of contact is Ashley Hardyn, Purchasing Manager, for all procurement inquiries.
