Traffic Pavement Markings (Five (5) Year Multiyear Contract)

The County of DeKalb, Georgia, is seeking bids for a five-year multiyear contract for traffic pavement markings under solicitation number 2026-028-ITB, with submissions due by 3:00 PM on Thursday, May 28, 2026, via the county’s eProcurement Portal. The contract operates as an indefinite quantity type with no guaranteed minimum or maximum volume, requiring performance on an as-needed basis triggered by job lists issued by the County’s Traffic Engineering Division. Work includes application of thermoplastic and paint-based markings such as white and yellow stripes, crosswalks, arrows, handicap symbols, and bike lane indicators, as well as removal of existing markings and installation of raised pavement markers, all performed in accordance with county specifications and approved standards like the GDOT MUTCD. All tasks must be completed within one calendar day of request, during standard business hours, and at designated locations across the county, with the County handling unloading upon delivery under F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid and Allowed terms. Bids must be submitted electronically through the specified portal, and late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances. Offers must include a separate Price Schedule, vendor questionnaire, and required attachments including Exhibit 1 (List of Streets) and Exhibit 2 (GDOT MUTCD), with pricing details excluded from the main bid to avoid non-responsiveness. Evaluation is structured around responsiveness, LSBE participation, and price competitiveness, with bidders required to demonstrate at least 20% participation from Local Small Business Enterprises (LSBEs)—either DeKalb County-based or within the Atlanta MSA—to qualify for consideration. Preference points are awarded to LSBE-DeKalb firms (10 points), LSBE-MSA firms (5 points), and those demonstrating good faith efforts (2 points). The award will generally go to the lowest responsive, compliant bidder, but non-lowest bidders meeting LSBE thresholds may be awarded if they match the lowest bid price, creating a hybrid LPTA and trade-off model. Compliance with Davis-Bacon wage requirements, use of new and defect-free materials, and adherence to specifications are mandatory, with inspections conducted on-site by the County, whose decisions on acceptability are final. Key personnel changes require 15 days’ advance notice and County approval, and contractors must provide on-site office space with utilities and remove all temporary structures upon completion. All invoices must be submitted electronically through CV360-iSupplier with
