2025 Dirt Street Paving Phase 1

The City of Wichita, located in Sedgwick County, Kansas, is soliciting bids for the 2025 Dirt Street Paving Phase 1 project through its Public Works & Utilities Department. The procurement seeks construction services for comprehensive street infrastructure improvements across multiple locations, including Cheyenne Boulevard, 26th Street North, Hyacinth Lane, Glenn Avenue, 1st Street North, Clara Street, Doris Street, and 3rd Street North. The project involves extensive road work encompassing site clearing, excavation, seeding, traffic control, and pavement installations, with three distinct project groups requiring different quantities of excavation, crushed rock base, and asphalt pavement. Bidders must submit sealed electronic proposals through the City's Procurement Portal by 10:00 AM on Friday, September 26, 2025, with a specified project timeline of 60 working days from work order issuance. To qualify, contractors must have a minimum of 3 years' experience in similar services, understand industry standards, and comply with local, state, and federal laws. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest and best total net bid from a responsible and responsive vendor.

The City of Wichita actively encourages emerging and disadvantaged business participation in the bidding process, demonstrating a commitment to inclusive procurement practices. Bidders are required to provide a 5% bid bond and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 annual aggregate), comprehensive automobile liability, workers' compensation, and employers' liability. While the solicitation does not specify a total project budget, the bid table provides detailed pricing structures for lump sum and measured quantity bid items across three project groups, with quantities measured in square yards, cubic yards, linear feet, and individual units. The project is not a state or federal aid contract, which may impact funding and reporting requirements. Potential bidders can contact Val Falo at VFalo@wichita.gov for additional information, and the procurement is structured to allow for precise proposal preparation based on the detailed work specifications provided in the bid documentation.
