Technical scoring weights years of experience providing the specified services (20 points), government experience (10 points), ongoing support and risk mitigation planning (10 points), and project management experience and team competency (10 points).

Bidders must submit labor rates for paver operators, paving foremen, and paving laborers, along with subcontractor and material markup percentages on a Price Proposal Sheet. All contractors must maintain workers' compensation, commercial general liability with a $1,000,000 combined single limit, and automobile liability insurance.
