El Camino Avenue at Kent Drive Traffic Signal Project

Sacramento County is procuring a transportation infrastructure project known as the El Camino Avenue at Kent Drive Traffic Signal Project (Contract #4637) located in California. The project involves installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of El Camino Avenue and Kent Drive, including signal interconnect along El Camino Avenue between Fulton Avenue and Kent Drive. Required work encompasses pavement slurry, curb and sidewalk replacement, restriping, and comprehensive traffic signal infrastructure installation. Bidders must possess a General Engineering Contractor (Class A) license and submit electronic bids through the Sacramento County Electronic Bidding Portal by August 29, 2024, at 2:00 pm. A mandatory bid guarantee of at least 10% of the total bid is required, which can be submitted as a bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check. Evaluation criteria will focus on the base bid only, with no consideration of additive or deductive items. The estimated construction cost is $800,000, and the project requires strict compliance with prevailing wage regulations and Department of Industrial Relations registration.

The contract opportunity includes specific non-discrimination requirements outlined in Title VI Assurances, mandating equal treatment across race, color, national origin, age, sex, and disability in all project aspects. Contractors must ensure meaningful participation for persons with limited English proficiency and avoid actions that could disproportionately impact minority or low-income populations. Potential sanctions for non-compliance include withholding payments, contract cancellation, or suspension. The project is subject to federal requirements, including FHWA Form 1273, which outlines critical regulatory compliance areas such as nondiscrimination, labor standards, safety, and debarment restrictions. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly stated, the contract documents suggest a comprehensive approach to inclusive contracting practices. Subcontractors must also adhere to the same non-discrimination provisions, and all procurement activities related to the project must incorporate these guidelines. The contract requires detailed documentation of business type, license information, and contractor contact details, with a focus on ensuring comprehensive and equitable project execution.
