Jefferson Avenue and Clinton Keith Road Pavement Rehabilitation

The City of Murrieta is soliciting sealed bids on pavement rehabilitation of Jefferson Avenue and Clinton Keith Road (approximately 3.8 miles), with bids due July 30, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. through the City's PlanetBids Vendor Portal. Bidders must hold a California Class A or Class C-12 contractor's license and register with the California Department of Industrial Relations prior to submission — a mandatory eligibility filter.

Work includes removal and replacement of pavement-failure sections, full-width roadway grinding of existing asphalt, asphalt rubber hot mix overlay placement, detector loop replacement, DLC installation, surveying, and signing and striping. All work on Clinton Keith Road must be performed at night between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. (work week Sunday evening through Friday morning), with digout and paving completion required by October 30, 2026. The project is subject to California prevailing wage requirements under Labor Code Section 1773 and Title 13 California Code of Regulations requirements for in-use off-road diesel-fueled fleets; contractors must provide proof of CARB Certificate of Reported Compliance.

The Engineer's Estimate is $7 million. Work must be completed within 85 working days of Notice to Proceed, scheduled for September 14, 2026. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to 10 percent of the base bid or a cashier's check in that amount to the City Clerk prior to the deadline; the successful bidder will be required to furnish labor, material, and faithful performance bonds at 100 percent of contract value. Plans and specifications are available for purchase at $75.00 per non-refundable set online. No pre-bid meeting is scheduled; site visits and field walks are encouraged.
