Charnwood Chip Seal

The City of Troy, located in Oakland County, Michigan, is soliciting sealed bids for the Charnwood Chip Seal project (Contract 24-05), which involves comprehensive road maintenance and surface treatment across multiple residential streets. The project encompasses approximately 62,700 square yards of roadwork, including streets such as Tewksbury, Tutbury, Beach, Coolidge, Malvern, and others, with specific requirements for double chip seal application, hot mix asphalt leveling, and associated infrastructure improvements. Bidders must demonstrate at least three years of relevant municipal contract experience, provide detailed documentation including equipment lists, financial references, and insurance certificates, and submit a $10,000 certified or cashier's check with their electronic bid. The bid submission deadline is Wednesday, May 22, 2024, at 10:00 AM local time, with a public bid opening conducted via Microsoft Teams, and all construction and restoration must be completed by December 5, 2024 (though Addendum #1 subsequently extended the substantial completion date to July 1, 2025, and final completion to October 1, 2025). Evaluation criteria include compliance with technical specifications, experience, equipment capabilities, and financial stability, with the City reserving the right to accept or reject any bid.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations mentioned in the documentation. The project does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business participants. No incumbent vendors are listed, and the project appears to be a standalone road maintenance initiative without explicit requirements for integrating existing infrastructure or technology. While a precise award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial municipal infrastructure investment, with unit pricing established for various line items such as chip seal (18-22 pounds per square yard for the first application, 20-25 pounds for the second), asphalt emulsion application (0.39 to 0.44 gallons per square yard), and associated maintenance tasks. The successful bidder will be required to provide performance, labor and material, and maintenance bonds each equal to 100% of the project value, indicating a significant financial commitment. Contractors must also comply with "American Made" requirements and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and excess liability, with the City of Troy named as an additional insured.
