Waterborne Traffic Paint As Needed

The City of Spokane is seeking to establish a five-year contract for the procurement of Waterborne Traffic Paint on an as-needed basis, through a blanket order process. The contract will be non-exclusive, allowing the City to purchase quantities based on actual requirements rather than fixed amounts, with no obligation to buy the full estimated quantities outlined in the proposals. Orders will be placed throughout the contract period, and payment will only be made for the actual quantities delivered and accepted. Multiple contracts may be awarded to the most favorable bidders, with the final award decision made by the City Council, based on the bids that best meet the City's needs. The solicitation, identified as ITB 6096-24, was posted on March 15, 2024, with a response deadline of April 8, 2024, and is open to qualified bidders within the NAICS code 237310, which pertains to highway, street, and bridge construction. The contractual framework incorporates standard terms and conditions similar to those used by other municipalities, such as Cedar Rapids, emphasizing compliance with ADA standards, bid submission protocols, conflict of interest policies, and transparency under open records laws. These provisions ensure that the procurement process remains fair, compliant with applicable regulations, and aligned with best practices for public contracting. The contract aims to provide the Street Department with a flexible, cost-effective means of acquiring traffic paint as needed, supporting ongoing maintenance and safety operations within the City of Spokane, Washington.
