Reflectorized High-Durable Traffic Striping

Lea County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting bids for reflectorized high-durable traffic striping services under solicitation number 14 - (25-26), with submissions due by June 1, 2026. The work involves applying pavement markings including 4-inch to 36-inch stripes, edge lines, stop bars, crosswalks, bike lanes, turn lanes, and other markings as needed, with approximate quantities listed but no unit prices provided, making the total contract value uncalculable. Performance must comply with the current New Mexico State Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway and Bridge Construction, particularly Section 704, covering retroreflectivity, glass bead application rates, stripe width, and obliteration of existing markings. The contract is structured as a one-year base agreement with an option to extend annually for up to three additional years, operating under an IDIQ-like framework where orders are issued against a price agreement. Award will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method, with selection determined solely by the lowest per-unit bid as long as the vendor meets all mandatory requirements including insurance, bonding, and delivery capability. Vendors must submit a series of mandatory documents through the OpenGov portal, including a county-specific submission form, non-collusion affidavit, certificate regarding debarment, related party disclosure, and New Mexico resident or veteran preference certification, but no Unique Entity ID or CAGE code is required. Packaging must follow standard commercial practices without military or specific labeling standards, and all work is to be inspected and accepted at the job site within Lea County, New Mexico. Payment terms require invoices to be submitted to the Lea County Road Department with purchase order details and will be processed within 30 days of certification. Contractors are prohibited from subcontracting without prior written approval and must maintain all records for three years post-completion, subject to audit. Key personnel changes require agency consent, and all pricing is excluding state taxes. The contract obligates vendors to provide adequate insurance coverage, including workers’ compensation, and to remove at their own cost any nonconforming work.
