Citywide mill and overlay & site-specific pavement repairs

The City of Buffalo's Department of Public Works, Parks and Streets is seeking bids for a Citywide Mill and Overlay & Site-Specific Pavement Repairs project, designated as Group 1118B, located within Erie County, New York. The procurement involves comprehensive pavement rehabilitation and repair services for the city, with a contract term of 180 calendar days. Sealed proposals will be accepted until April 30, 2025, at 11:00 AM, with bids to be opened via video/phone conference call. Potential bidders must obtain proposal documents from Avalon Document Services for $58.00 per set and can submit proposals either in-person at City Hall Room 502 or by mail to the specified address. Contractors and subcontractors are required to be registered with the New York State Department of Labor before submitting bids or commencing work on or after December 30, 2024. Bidders must also submit a Non-Collusion Certificate and provide proof of their Department of Labor Certificate of Registration. Technical questions about the contract should be directed to Phillip Pecoraro at ppecoraro@buffalony.gov, with a strict prohibition on inquiries within three business days prior to the bid opening.

The contract opportunity does not include a service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside, but does establish specific minority and women-owned business enterprise (M/WBE) subcontracting goals. The procurement mandates a 25% Minority Owned Sub-Contracting Goal and a 5% Women Owned Sub-Contracting Goal, indicating a strong commitment to diverse business participation. Previous contractors for similar projects include Amherst Paving and D & H Paving, suggesting the project involves established local paving contractors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the citywide mill and overlay project implies a significant municipal infrastructure investment. The requirement for contractors to be registered with the New York State Department of Labor and the detailed submission requirements underscore the complexity and scale of the pavement repair and rehabilitation project, which appears to be a critical infrastructure maintenance initiative for the City of Buffalo.
