The procurement is structured with a base bid and two additive alternates to maximize potential work completion within available funding constraints. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder based on the combined totals of the base bid and potential alternates. Key deliverables include precise 4" asphalt concrete pavement (ACP) removal, precise inlay installation, and comprehensive traffic control measures. The bid is posted on February 24, 2025, with a submission deadline of March 20, 2025.
