FY 24-25 Asphalt Paving Project

The City of Colton Public Works and Utilities Department is seeking qualified contractors for the FY 24-25 Asphalt Paving Project, a comprehensive roadway infrastructure improvement initiative in San Bernardino County, California. The procurement involves rubberized asphalt paving with and without fiber reinforcement, asphalt grinding, traffic signal loop installation, pavement striping, and markings across twenty distinct segment locations. Bidders must possess a Class "A" contractor's license or a combination of licenses necessary to complete the project's technical requirements. The bid submission deadline is April 17, 2025, at 3:00 P.M., with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for April 8, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Key project specifications include a 90-working-day contract duration from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for project delays. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical capability, licensing compliance, and competitive pricing. Bidders must submit a bid guarantee of 10% of their total bid price, which can be provided as cash, certified check, cashier's check, or bid bond.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses, though standard municipal procurement practices typically encourage diverse vendor participation. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage rates and adhere to state and federal labor regulations, including Davis-Bacon Act requirements. The project's estimated budget, as noted in Addendum 1, is $2,728,545.07, suggesting a significant infrastructure investment. Successful bidders will be required to provide performance and payment bonds, each equal to 100% of the bid amount. Additional submission requirements include a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, detailed construction schedule, workers' compensation certifications, non-collusion affidavits, and comprehensive subcontractor listings. Potential bidders are instructed to direct any questions to Jim McGivern from the Public Works Department via email. The project's multi-segment approach indicates a strategic, area-wide road maintenance initiative designed to improve infrastructure quality and longevity across San Bernardino County.
