Wyoming resident contractors receive a five percent (5%) price preference and may not subcontract more than 30 percent of work to nonresidents, with Wyoming materials and labor preferred and a five percent (5%) cost differential allowable. All bidders must submit a bid guarantee equal to five percent (5%) of the total bid amount in the form of a bid bond or cashier's check, along with non-collusion affidavits, subcontractor lists, and all required bidding documentation; bids lacking required documentation will be deemed non-responsive. The contract award will be made to the lowest total responsive bid from the most qualified and responsible bidder, provided the bid does not exceed available project funds. The City will withhold five percent (5%) retainage from all progress payments for contracts exceeding $50,000 for a minimum of forty-one calendar days following publication of Notice of Final Settlement in compliance with Wyoming Statute 16-6-116, with mobilization payment structured incrementally from 10 percent upon the first estimate to 100 percent upon completion. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents, and the contract includes a mandatory two-year warranty period commencing from the date of Substantial Completion. While the exact total project budget is not explicitly stated, the scope encompasses substantial quantities including 31,660 square yards of cold asphalt milling, 3,947 tons of plant mix bituminous pavement, and thousands of linear feet of pavement markings across multiple corridors, indicating a project value likely in the multi-million dollar range.
