Western Regional Pavement Preservation

The Western Regional Pavement Preservation Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) is a federal contract vehicle awarded by the Western Federal Lands Highway Division of the U.S. Department of Transportation for comprehensive roadway infrastructure maintenance services. The contract supports pavement preservation and repair activities across thirteen western states, including Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and California. Services under this contract include traffic control, asphalt milling, paving, patching, sealing, microsurfacing, profile grinding, and slope stabilization for federal highways, national parks, and other federal lands.

The MATOC has awarded multiple task orders ranging from approximately $1.9 million to $15.6 million, with completion dates typically between 12-24 months. Prime contractors frequently winning task orders include VSS International Inc., Intermountain Slurry Seal (a Granite Construction subsidiary), and Central Southern Construction Corp. Task orders have consistently focused on pavement preservation activities such as crack sealing, chip sealing, microsurfacing, and asphalt resurfacing. The contract does not utilize set-aside designations, allowing broad competition among qualified contractors. Performance locations have included national parks and federal highways in states like Washington, Michigan, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, and California, with the Federal Highway Administration serving as the primary funding agency for these infrastructure maintenance projects.
