Painting Services for Ridgeland and Hardeeville Campuses

Jasper County School District is seeking qualified, licensed, and insured contractors to perform comprehensive painting services across its Ridgeland and Hardeeville K-12 campuses under Solicitation No. IFB 25-26-PAINTING-01. The work encompasses all aspects of interior and exterior painting, including surface preparation, priming, and coating of classrooms, hallways, restrooms, gymnasiums, doors, and frames, with the goal of supporting ongoing district growth and enrollment needs. The contract is structured with a maximum term of five years, and bidders must submit sealed proposals containing both a paper hardcopy and a digital copy on a flash drive, enclosed together in a single sealed envelope addressed to the District Office. The bid deadline is June 25, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., and submissions must be accompanied by a 5% bid bond and later, if awarded, 100% performance and payment bonds, along with builder’s risk insurance. Contractors must hold a valid South Carolina contractor’s license under Title 40, Chapter 11 and submit a detailed construction safety plan compliant with OSHA standards, as well as adhere to current CDC and state health guidelines. All project documentation, including submittals, RFIs, invoices, and pay applications, must be electronically submitted through the e-Builder platform, and contractors are prohibited from withdrawing bids for 30 days after submission. The place of performance is limited to the two campuses located in Jasper County, South Carolina, with final acceptance likely to occur at the District Office in Ridgeland. While the solicitation outlines extensive administrative, bonding, safety, and compliance requirements, it does not specify a contract type, estimated value, evaluation factors with weights, or formal FAR clauses. No socioeconomic set-asides, UEI/CAGE requirements, or key personnel designations are imposed, and no military standards or formal inspection checklists are referenced, though compliance with industry standards and the district’s specifications is expected. Point of contact for inquiries is Simona Richardson, with financial oversight handled by Jennifer Carter.
