Asphalt Repair Services at EMWD Facilities

The Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) is seeking proposals for a comprehensive asphalt repair services contract covering 16 district facilities located in Riverside County, California. The Request for Proposal (RFP #3853) solicits services including asphalt removal and replacement, grinding, saw cutting, slurry and sealant application, and line striping across multiple municipal water infrastructure sites in cities like Murrieta, Menifee, Perris, Moreno Valley, Hemet, and San Jacinto. Proposing contractors must possess a valid C-12 Earthwork and Paving License and demonstrate substantial experience in pavement maintenance services. The evaluation criteria will comprehensively assess price, contractor qualifications, experience, performance history, safety record, and proposed work completion process. Mandatory pre-bid meetings are scheduled for November 4th, 5th, and 6th, 2025, with final proposals due by 11:00 AM on November 25th, 2025. The project is anticipated to be completed by June 30th, 2026, with an estimated contract start date of December 22nd, 2025.

Contractors must comply with multiple regulatory requirements, including California Air Resources Board (CARB) mobile source emissions regulations, prevailing wage standards, and comprehensive insurance coverage specifications. The RFP does not explicitly indicate set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but requires detailed documentation including Cal/OSHA compliance history, subcontractor information, and mobile source emissions certifications. Proposers must provide evidence of insurance policies, safety compliance, and potential payment and performance bonds. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the pricing structure requires detailed per-square-foot rates for various pavement treatments across different facility sites. EMWD reserves the right to award the contract to multiple contractors and to reject any or all proposals. Contractors will be responsible for providing their own personal protective equipment, maintaining strict safety standards, and submitting weekly progress reports throughout the project duration.
