2023 Crack Seal Project

The 2023 Crack Seal Project is a procurement opportunity for asphalt street crack sealing services issued by Union County, Oregon, specifically involving the City of Pendleton. The project requires a contractor to perform comprehensive crack sealing on city streets, including crack cleaning, traffic control, applying and squeegeeing crack sealing material, debris removal, and sanding. Bidders must be prequalified and submit several required documents, including a bid bond, acknowledgement of addenda, and a non-collusion affidavit. The bid submission deadline is July 11, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with bids to be evaluated based on the grand total bid amount. The project is expected to be completed by September 1, 2023, with all work to be accomplished within 14 calendar days once initiated. Contractors will be required to obtain a City of Pendleton business license and comply with prevailing wage rate requirements, and must be prepared to provide payment and performance bonds upon contract award.

No specific set-aside designations were identified in the procurement documents. The current project has an engineer's estimate of $100,000, with actual bids ranging from $49,882.17 (submitted by C.R. Contracting, LLC) to $91,350.48 (submitted by CommSurf Pro). The project appears to be funded through state and local sources, with a potential total budget of approximately $500,000. The contract term is one year, with potential for two one-year renewal options. While no incumbent vendor was definitively specified for Union County, the documents note that ABC Paving, Inc. was the current incumbent for a similar project. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the anticipated contract award scheduled for the July 18, 2023 City Council meeting. Interested parties will have an opportunity to review bidder submittals and potentially protest the award recommendation.
