On-Call Repair Services for Stormwater Control Measures - Statewide Coverage

The contract for On-Call Stormwater Control Measure Repair Services issued by the North Carolina Department of Transportation encompasses statewide repair and maintenance across three regions—Eastern, Central, and Western North Carolina—with an estimated total value ranging from five to fifteen million dollars. The work is scheduled to begin on October 1, 2025, and conclude by September 30, 2026, with provisions for up to two additional one-year extensions at the Department’s discretion. The services include a broad scope of activities such as dewatering, vegetation removal, sediment removal, pipe unclogging, component repairs, and routine vegetation and erosion control, all performed in accordance with the NCDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures and relevant federal, state, and local regulations. Work orders will specify locations, quantities, and deadlines, with contractors required to mobilize within 72 hours of notification and complete tasks continuously until finished, under strict safety, traffic control, and environmental compliance standards. The procurement process emphasizes price competitiveness, with award made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the total extended price of unit prices submitted for detailed line items. Bidders must be pre-qualified, and the evaluation primarily considers responsiveness, responsibility, and cost, with no explicit weighting or best-value trade-offs indicated. The contract incorporates federal clauses related to nondiscrimination, debarment, wage laws, and safety, alongside state-specific provisions for MBE/WBE participation, reporting, and good faith efforts, although the overall goal for disadvantaged business participation is set at zero percent. Payment procedures require submission of detailed invoices, including subcontractor payment statements, to designated Department offices, with no mention of electronic invoicing systems. The contract also mandates strict personnel qualifications, including licensed pesticide applicators, safety training, and adherence to OSHA standards. Special clauses address contract renewal, liquidated damages for delays, safety violations, utility conflicts, and operational restrictions during holidays and peak traffic periods, ensuring comprehensive oversight and compliance throughout the performance period.
