Mesa County 2025 Crack Sealing Project

Mesa County is seeking proposals for the 2025 Crack Sealing Project, a targeted infrastructure maintenance initiative focusing on designated paved roads in the Clifton/Fruitvale area of Mesa County, Colorado. This Request for Proposal (RFP-25-CRACKSEAL) requires a qualified contractor to furnish and install pre-approved, rubberized crack sealant, with specific responsibilities including proper crack cleaning, preparation, and sealant application using approved methods. The project evaluates proposals based on multiple criteria, with an 80% weight on cost and 20% on factors such as company background, team personnel, technical expertise, project approach, previous experience, and quality assurance methods. Proposals must be submitted by November 19, 2025, at 5:00 pm Mountain Time, with the project intended to be completed prior to June 2026. Contractors are required to demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Comprehensive Automobile Liability, and Professional Liability, with minimum coverage limits of $1 million per occurrence.

The contract, with a not-to-exceed value of $600,000, will be awarded to the highest qualified, most responsive, and best value bidder, with potential for contract price negotiations. Performance and payment bonds will be required, though bid bonds are not necessary. The project includes additional components beyond crack sealing, such as mobilization, public information services, and traffic control management. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are explicitly mentioned, the comprehensive evaluation process suggests a competitive and merit-based selection approach. The project includes a twelve-month warranty, indicating the county's emphasis on quality and long-term road infrastructure maintenance. Potential contractors should carefully review the bid documents, particularly the Bid Sheet (Bid Sheet - CrackSeal.xlsx), which provides detailed information about contract items and estimated quantities.
