NCDOT to award graffiti-removal contract

Graffiti on the Beltline

I found more graffiti on the I-440 Raleigh Beltline last week and that sent me Googling for how to get it removed. Seems a Google search on the terms “NCDOT graffiti” returns MT.Net as the third result. In other words, there aren’t a lot of resources for graffiti removal.

The good news is that NCDOT is getting serious about graffiti removal. It has a contract out for bid right now for graffiti-removal services for Durham and Wake counties.

According to the contract proposal [PDF], the term will be for one year, beginning December 12th. The winning bidder will be on the hook to remove graffiti, some in as little as 24 hours. The winner will also provide its own traffic control.

A pre-bid conference will take place Monday at 1 PM in Durham. Details are below:

PRE-BID CONFERENCE

A mandatory Pre-Bid Conference will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, November 14, 2011 at the District 2 Office, 815 Stadium Drive, Durham N.C. 27704. We will discuss the scope of the project and give bidders the opportunity to ask any questions they may have. Attendance at the Pre-Bid Conference is required in order for your bid to be considered.

Happy motoring!
