The California Department of Parks and Recreation's Tehachapi District is soliciting bids for a slurry seal road repair project at Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area located in Hesperia, California. The procurement involves comprehensive road surface maintenance, specifically applying emulsified crack filler and Type II aggregate slurry seal to the Residence Road, as well as re-striping pavement markings. A mandatory job walk is scheduled for February 10, 2016, at 1:00 PM PST at the Park Offices, with bid submissions due by February 23, 2016, at 2:30 PM PST to the Tehachapi District offices. The contract requires the selected contractor to provide all necessary equipment, tools, materials, labor, and expertise to complete the project, with work performance restricted to Monday through Friday between 0800-1430 hours, unless alternative arrangements are made. The contract term extends through August 31, 2016, with the primary objective of improving road surface conditions at the state recreation area.

The solicitation offers potential small business advantages, with a 5% preference available for qualifying businesses. The Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement has been waived for this project, though the DVBE incentive remains applicable. Bidders submitting proposals over $250,000 must provide a cashier's check, certified check, or bidder's bond equal to 10% of the bid amount. Additionally, when the contract amount exceeds $5,000, payment and performance bonds covering 100% of the contract sum are mandatory. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the road repair work suggests a potentially significant investment in infrastructure maintenance. The project appears to be open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical specifications and performance requirements outlined in the solicitation package.
