THIS IS NOT AN INVITIATION FOR BID, PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE NOT AVAILBLE

THE TENTATIVE ADVERTISEMENT DATE IS EARLY AUGUST, 2023. THIS PROJECT WILL BE ADVERTISED AS A SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE.

Project Details: The Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFL) of the Federal Highway Administration anticipates awarding a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for road and bridge construction for the state of California. The government anticipates individual task orders ranging from $500,000 to $5,000,000. The request for proposals or invitation for bids will include all contractual requirements for which the work is being requested. Two (2) Task Order Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued simultaneously with the MATOC Request for Proposal. The two (2) Task Orders (seed projects) will consist of: CA ERFO FS SEQUI 2021-02(2) and CA ERFO FS ELDOR 2021-02(4). Offerors will be required to submit a price proposal for the first two task orders as well as qualifications for the base MATOC RFP. The proposals for the first two (2) task orders will be used to evaluate price for the base MATOC lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) awards. The scope of the task orders may include, but are not limited to bridge/roadway value engineering, fabrication and/or delivery of individual bridge elements or temporary works, bridge demolition, construction of temporary and permanent single and multi-span bridges and foundations, mobilization, contractor sampling and testing, earthwork, dewatering, walls, asphalt and concrete surfacing, drainage improvements, traffic control, installation of traffic signals and signs, roadway reconstruction, rehabilitation, MSE wall construction, asphalt concrete paving, trail construction, roadway excavation, rock embankment or embankment construction and other work incidental to road and bridge construction projects. This is competitive LPTA procurement and evaluation factors for award will be fully stated in the RFP. The government may award up to a maximum of eight contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offerors whose offers conform to the solicitation while using the LPTA methodology. Each contract awarded will consist of one base year and options to extend the contract for two additional two-year periods. The shared capacity of the MATOC will have a maximum not-to-exceed five year total of $60 million.

• 20 CUYD of Riprap
• 190 TON of Roadway Aggregate
• 80 TON of Asphalt Pavement
• 16-ft x 46-ft of Prefabricated Steel Bridge
• 170 LNFT of Drilled Shafts, 24-inch diameter
• 100 LNFT of Guardrail, including terminals

ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE:

It is anticipated this project will be advertised in August 2023, proposals due in September 2023, and awarded in October 2023. Construction will run from January 2024 through October 2024.
