The work is located in Marin County, though the source document references Madera County and creates potential ambiguity about the actual project location.

A 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation goal and a 5% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal apply.

The scope includes cold planing of 61,200 square yards of asphalt concrete pavement, placement of 7,930 tons of hot mix asphalt (Type A), traffic control systems, pavement markings, rumble strips, thermoplastic striping, roadside signs, and electrical system modifications. Work must be completed within 45 working days. The estimated project cost is $2.35 million. Bidders must submit prices for 33 line items covering traffic control, environmental stewardship, pavement work, signage, and electrical systems.

Prevailing wages are required per the California Department of Industrial Relations. Bidders must submit bid security equal to at least 10% of their bid amount. The project requires coordination with coincident contracts and lane closure management in freeze-thaw areas. Environmental submittals include lead compliance planning, water pollution control, and treated wood waste management. Environmental product declarations are required from hot mix asphalt facilities providing 2,250 tons or more. Certified payroll records must be submitted through LCPtracker Pro, with various project-specific forms due within 4 business days of bid opening.
