Cherokee County School District 1 is soliciting sealed lump sum bids for the renovation and resurfacing of the running track at Gaffney High School under solicitation number 2027-10. The project scope includes the complete demolition and disposal of the existing rubber surface, inspection and repair of the asphalt substrate using high-strength acrylic latex patching material, and the installation of a new approximately 1/2-inch resilient polyresin/latex surfacing system. The specified system is Plexitraco Accelerator Running Track by California Sports Surfaces or an approved equivalent. Key deliverables include the final layout, striping, and certification of track markings by a licensed professional engineer or registered land surveyor, as well as a five-year labor and material warranty. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit is scheduled for October 20, 2026, with bids due by November 9, 2026, at 10:00 AM. The District's desired completion date is January 30, 2027. Bidders must provide bid security of at least 5 percent of the total bid price, and the successful contractor will be required to furnish performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract price. Evaluation will be based on the lowest price, provided the bidder is responsive and responsible, with verification of the proposed surfacing system, installer authorization, and relevant experience including three similar projects completed within the last five years. Compliance requirements include certifications for a drug-free workplace, South Carolina's Ethics, Government Accountability, and Campaign Reform Act, and the Iran Investment Act for contracts over 10,000 dollars.
