Pavement Markings

The City of Methuen’s Department of Public Works is soliciting bids for pavement markings throughout the city under solicitation number BD-27-1156-00001-00001-131670, with a posted date of July 23, 2026, and a bid deadline of August 6, 2026, at 12:30 PM local time. The work involves applying and restoring traffic lane and directional markings across municipal roadways, with all performance occurring within Methuen, Massachusetts, specifically at Pleasant Street and other city locations. Contractors must be prequalified by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) in the PAVEMENT MARKINGS class, and submissions must include a completed bid form along with a certified check, cashier’s check, or bid bond equal to five percent of the total bid amount. Bid packages must be physically sealed in envelopes clearly marked “Pavement Markings-Methuen” and delivered to the City Clerk’s Office at 41 Pleasant Street, Methuen, MA 01844; electronic submissions are not accepted. The estimated contract value is $109,100, and the procurement follows M.G.L. Chapter 30; 39M, strongly suggesting an LPTA basis for award where technical eligibility through MassDOT prequalification and bid bond compliance serve as mandatory thresholds. There are no federal FAR clauses, UFC or MIL-STD packaging standards, formal evaluation factors, or socioeconomic set-asides referenced, and no UEI, CAGE, or certified small business certifications are required. No contract administration details such as invoicing methods, payment addresses, COR/COTR assignments, or inspection criteria are specified beyond the requirement that work be performed to meet state transportation standards implicitly aligned with MUTCD guidelines. Bidders are directed to access all bid documents and forms through the city’s purchasing portal at www.methuen.gov/purchasing and must register as plan holders to obtain full specifications.
