The deliverables include placement of between 850 and 12,500 tons of HMA pavement depending on project location and mix design specifications (3 LT or 4 LT 58-28 S and 3 MT or 4 MT 58-28 S), along with pulverization and relay work totaling 72,650 square yards on CTH CV.

All asphaltic paving operations must be completed before November 18, 2026, with contractors required to begin work within ten calendar days of official notice and subject to liquidated damages of $200 per weekday for delays. Evaluation will award the contract to the lowest responsible responsive bidder, though the County reserves the right to accept partial bids, reject any or all bids, and negotiate terms.

Bidders must submit pricing using the provided Attachment A Excel spreadsheet with all labor, materials, equipment, shipping, and associated costs included; pricing remains fixed throughout the contract term. Required bonds include a certified check or bid bond equal to 5 percent of the total bid amount and a performance bond equal to 100 percent of the contracted amount.
