2025 slurry seal project

The City of Ashland, Oregon is seeking qualified contractors for the 2025 Slurry Seal Project (Project No. 2025-01), a comprehensive road maintenance initiative targeting multiple street sections within Jackson County. The procurement is structured as an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for road construction work involving Type I and Type III Emulsified Asphalt Slurry Seal application and permanent pavement marking installation. Specific project scope includes slurry seal treatment across approximately 140,000 square yards of city streets and multi-use paths, with a daily installation limit of 20,000 square yards requiring pre-approval from the Project Manager. Contractors must complete all work within 60 calendar days following the written Notice to Proceed, with a final completion deadline of June 30, 2025. Bid submissions are due by 2:00:00 PM PST on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, and require a 10% bid bond or security. Technical requirements include temporary traffic control, erosion control measures, and precise pavement marking installations across designated locations including Ashland Street, East Main Street, and Tolman Creek.

The project is locally funded and requires strict compliance with Oregon prevailing wage rates. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, specifically commercial general liability insurance of $2 million per occurrence and $4 million aggregate, as well as commercial automobile liability insurance of $2 million. Performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract amount will be mandatory for the successful bidder. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly noted, the city reserves the right to reject any and all bids, suggesting potential flexibility in vendor selection. The project does not indicate an incumbent vendor or specify precise budget ranges, though the comprehensive scope and insurance requirements suggest a substantial municipal infrastructure investment. Potential bidders should carefully review the technical control plan (TCP) and ITB documents to understand the full project specifications and compliance requirements for this road maintenance initiative.
