Tuolumne County Public Works Department is seeking a contractor for the Mono Way Crack Seal Project (IFB #1759), which involves providing comprehensive crack sealing services on approximately 12 lane-miles of Mono Way located partially in Sonora and unincorporated Tuolumne County, California. The project requires crack sealing treatment using Type 4 hot-applied flush fill method, with specific technical requirements for crack preparation, treatment application, and traffic control. Contractors must possess either a Class A, C-12, or C-32 Contractor's License and be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. The bid was released on February 7, 2023, with proposals due electronically by March 2, 2023, at 2:00 pm, and all work must be completed within 20 working days, with a project completion deadline of June 30, 2023. Evaluation criteria include responsiveness, lowest total Base Bid Schedule, and assessment for mathematical or material unbalancing. Bidders are required to submit both Base Bid and Alternate Bid, with the county reserving the right to award based on fund availability.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but requires comprehensive compliance with various certification requirements, including non-collusion declaration and equal employment opportunity standards. Contractors must furnish a payment and performance bond for contracts exceeding $25,000 and maintain extensive insurance coverage, including $2,000,000 commercial general liability per occurrence. Prevailing wage rates will apply, and the county will provide a DIR project number upon contract award. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract includes provisions for funding availability contingent on county budget appropriations, with the county retaining options to cancel or amend the contract if funding is reduced or deleted. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project involves crack sealing treatment across 12 lane-miles, suggesting a substantial infrastructure maintenance investment for Tuolumne County.
