Asphalt & Concrete Installation & Maintenance As-Needed Districtwide

Carlsbad Unified School District is soliciting sealed bids to establish a pool of qualified contractors for as-needed asphalt and concrete installation, repair, maintenance, and related services districtwide, with bids due August 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM PST. Pre-qualification through PQBids is mandatory prior to bid submission. A 3% DVBE participation goal applies to state-funded work.

Acceptable contractor licenses are California Class A (General Engineering) or C-12 (Earthwork and Paving), with a minimum of five years' experience in similar work. The scope includes asphalt paving installation, removal, and base course work; seal coating and slurry seal application; striping and marking; and concrete walks, ramps, curbs, and wheel stops. Contractors must maintain current California Department of Industrial Relations registration and comply with prevailing wage requirements. The District reserves the right to award contracts to one or more responsive and responsible bidders. Inclusion in the contractor pool does not guarantee any minimum amount of work or compensation.

The contract term runs from September 10, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods available by mutual agreement. Pricing for the initial contract term remains fixed through June 30, 2027; annual price increases in subsequent renewal periods are limited to the Consumer Price Index for the San Diego-Carlsbad region, and requests exceeding CPI may result in contract non-renewal. Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100 percent of project value are required for individual project assignments exceeding $25,000. General liability insurance limits range from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 depending on contract size, with the District named as additional insured. Liquidated damages are set at $1,000 per calendar day for work completion delays. Questions are due July 28, 2026, and addenda close July 31, 2026. The District Board will consider award recommendations on September 9, 2026.
