2023 Slurry Seal Project

The City of Pendleton, located in Union County, Oregon, is seeking a contractor for the 2023 Slurry Seal Project, which involves comprehensive street maintenance and surface treatment. The procurement targets approximately 68,245 square yards of city streets, requiring complete surface preparation, cleaning, traffic control, slurry seal application, and replacement striping. Bidders must be prequalified and submit critical documentation including a 5% bid bond, non-collusion affidavit, and first-tier subcontractor disclosure form. The bid solicitation specifies a strict submission deadline of August 8, 2023, at 2:30 pm, with an anticipated contract award on August 15, 2023, and project completion required by November 3, 2023. Evaluation criteria appear focused on the total bid amount, with the City reserving the right to reject any or all bids and select the proposal most beneficial to the municipal interests.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The bid tabulation indicates that no bids were received during the initial solicitation, with the engineer's estimated project value at $251,070.25. The lack of bidder response suggests potential need for re-advertisement or specification revisions. Contractor requirements include providing performance and payment bonds, maintaining appropriate insurance coverage, and adhering to prevailing wage standards and public works regulations. The project will necessitate comprehensive street surface treatment using slurry seal technology, with potential integration requirements for existing municipal infrastructure and traffic management systems. The total project scope represents a moderate-scale municipal infrastructure maintenance initiative targeting street surface preservation and improvement.
