Asphalt Parking Lot Replacment

The Housing Authority of the City of Eau Claire, Wisconsin is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive asphalt parking lot replacement project (Project No. 2025-54) covering two separate locations: 2806-2908 Conrad Street and 901 South Farwell Street. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) requiring contractors to completely remove existing asphalt parking lots and replace them with new pavement. Specific technical requirements include installing a 6-inch aggregate base course and 2-inch compacted asphalt paving, with mandatory re-striping and numbering of parking stalls. The bid must follow Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) standard specifications and be submitted as a lump sum pricing proposal. Bids are due by 2:00 PM CT on September 16, 2025, with bid prices to remain firm for 60 days after the submission deadline. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to provide comprehensive pricing that covers all materials, labor, and compliance with technical specifications. Evaluation will likely consider total project cost, technical capability, and adherence to project requirements.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 in general liability coverage, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, and workers' compensation as mandated by Wisconsin State Statutes. The Housing Authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award items separately, providing flexibility in the procurement process. Potential bidders can contact Randy Craker at 715-829-9383 for project questions. The city is tax-exempt and expects bidders to exclude federal excise and state sales taxes from their proposals. An early payment discount will be considered in determining the lowest bidder, with the opportunity to quote a percentage discount for payment within 15 days of receipt and acceptance of goods. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves complete parking lot replacement at two distinct locations, suggesting a potentially significant investment in infrastructure improvement.
