The procurement seeks competitive bids for mill and overlay work consisting of milling 2 inches of existing asphalt pavement and overlaying approximately 193,000 square feet of surface area with commercial-grade asphalt, including an estimated 2,449 tons of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and emulsified asphalt tack. All work must be completed by November 15, 2027, with overlay work required to begin within two days of milling completion. Bidders must submit a lump sum bid for the entire project on the provided cost sheet, with all prices inclusive of materials, labor, and applicable federal, state, and local taxes, delivered FOB Destination prepaid. The bid due date is May 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, with submissions accepted electronically to Procurement@ks.gov or hand-delivered to 900 SW Jackson, Suite 451, Topeka, Kansas 66612. An optional pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 21, 2026, at 12:30 PM at the project site, and written questions requesting clarification must be submitted by April 22, 2026.

The procurement documents do not identify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to specific enterprise categories such as disadvantaged, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the solicitation materials. Contractors should note that mobilization, surveying, staking, quality control testing, grading, removals, traffic control, and utility location and adjustment are excluded from the bid price, while millings are to be retained by the Kansas Department of Transportation and hauled by the contractor to a site approximately 0.5 miles east on Highway US-36. A performance bond equal to 100 percent of the contract price is required for projects exceeding $40,000, and a public works bond equal to 100 percent of the contract price is required for projects exceeding $100,000. The solicitation documents do not specify an explicit budget range or estimated award value; however, given the scope of work encompassing nearly 193,000 square feet of asphalt overlay with approximately 2,449 tons of HMA, the project cost is likely to be substantial and subject to typical commercial asphalt paving rates.
