Building work, JPCP, and camera systems.

The California Department of Transportation is seeking bids for a comprehensive construction project located in Placer County near Blue Canyon at the Whitmore Maintenance Station, designated as Bid Number 03-0J5504. The procurement involves building work, jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP), and camera systems installation, requiring prime contractors to hold either a Class A license, Class B license, or a combination of Class C licenses that constitute a majority of the work. The project spans 240 working days and will be an electronic bidding process, with bid documents available starting November 10, 2025, and the bid opening scheduled for December 9, 2025. Potential bidders must access all plans, specifications, and project information through the Department of Transportation Construction Contract Award website. Contractors interested in submitting proposals should be prepared to meet comprehensive technical and licensing requirements, with potential additional license types that may be necessary as determined by the Contractors State License Board.

The Department of Transportation emphasizes equal opportunity and non-discrimination, ensuring disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) will have full opportunity to submit bids without discrimination based on race, color, or national origin, in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The estimated project value is $17,400,000, though this amount is not guaranteed and may be subject to adjustment. Bidders can direct specific project inquiries to the California Department of Transportation Bidder Inquiries website, with procedural questions about deadlines and bidder forms to be directed to the analyst listed in the CaleProcure California State Contracts Register Advertising Event website. The project covers multiple jurisdictions including Placer County, Berkeley City, and Placerville City, suggesting a potentially complex multi-location infrastructure improvement initiative. Potential respondents should carefully review all documentation and ensure they meet the technical, licensing, and administrative requirements before submitting their proposals.
