Meister Way Improvement Project - Bear Paw Drive to Lone Tree Road

Sacramento County is procuring a comprehensive infrastructure improvement project known as the Meister Way Improvement Project, spanning the roadway from Bear Paw Drive to Lone Tree Road. The project requires a General Engineering Contractor (Class A) license and involves extensive roadway reconstruction, including clearing and grubbing, pavement grinding, roadway excavation, aggregate base installation, asphalt paving, traffic striping, curb and sidewalk construction, drainage facility implementation, waterline and sanitary sewer work, and traffic signal installation. The bid submission is scheduled for October 2, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with a project contact of Gabriel Flores and a procurement contact of Jesse Sanchez. The project has a comprehensive set of technical specifications detailed in the Special Provisions document, with a prescribed completion timeline of 140 working days and liquidated damages of $6,700 per day for delays. Contractors must comply with multiple regulatory requirements, including environmental controls, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, and coordination with utility entities like AT&T, SMUD, PG&E, and Sacramento County Water Agency.

The procurement opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it includes robust non-discrimination provisions mandated by federal transportation guidelines. The project is funded through Sacramento County and has an estimated construction cost of $9,500,000, with bidders required to provide a bid guarantee of at least 10% of the total bid. Contractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations and submit various certifications, including a non-collusion declaration and an Iran Contracting Act disclosure form. The project incorporates advanced technologies such as Tensar InterAx Geogrid for pavement stabilization and requires compliance with the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation for vehicles over 8,500 lbs. Federal oversight is evident through attached FHWA-1273 forms, which mandate strict compliance with equal employment opportunity, labor standards, and wage requirements. The procurement documents indicate a complex, multi-faceted infrastructure project that will require significant engineering expertise and adherence to comprehensive regulatory standards.
