The Board of Supervisors has affirmed its commitment to affirmative action regarding minority business enterprises and has stated its policy of non-discrimination based on race, color, or national origin; however, no specific set-aside percentages or restrictions limiting bidder eligibility are detailed in the procurement notice. Award will be made to the lowest qualified bidder based on published quantities, with no incumbent vendors or current contractors identified in the documentation. Irregular bids qualified with conditional language will not be considered, and bids will only be accepted under the names of registered planholders. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the procurement notice; however, the award amount will be determined by the lowest qualifying bid submitted for the road overlay project. The project's scope and material quantities suggest a mid-to-large-scale infrastructure improvement with significant asphalt and labor components.
