2023 Type III Slurry Seal Project

The City of Redmond Public Works Department has initiated a competitive bid procurement for the 2023 Type III Slurry Seal Project, located in Deschutes County, Oregon. The project involves applying a polymer modified slurry seal to approximately 162,000 square yards (8 centerline miles) of existing asphalt roadways throughout the city. Contractors are required to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals to complete the road surface treatment, including mobilization, temporary traffic control, and public notification. Bidders must be registered with the Construction Contractors Board and demonstrate relevant experience in municipal road maintenance. The procurement requires a comprehensive bid package, including a bid bond of 5% of the total bid amount, completed forms related to contractor qualifications, and a detailed bid schedule. Key submission deadlines include bid documents due by March 22, 2023, at 4:00 pm, with the City Council expected to award the contract on March 28, 2023. The anticipated contract term runs from March 29, 2023, to August 25, 2023, with contractors required to provide a one-year warranty on all workmanship and materials.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises. The bid documents indicate that the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder who complies with all bid requirements and demonstrates the ability to successfully complete the project. The Engineer's Estimate for the project is $565,086.08, with actual bid amounts ranging from $433,390.00 to $578,960.00. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds, carry appropriate insurance, and comply with Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) prevailing wage rates. The total project budget is approximately $570,000, with the City reserving the right to adjust bid quantities based on funding availability. Successful bidders will be required to submit a mix design for approval at least 10 days prior to work commencement and complete a test strip section for evaluation. The contract includes a 5% retainage provision, which will be withheld from progress payments and released upon final project completion.
