Parking Lot Pavement Repair

The Town of Bethlehem Police Department in Albany County, New York, is soliciting quotes for a comprehensive parking lot pavement repair and maintenance project at the Bethlehem Town Hall located at 445 and 447 Delaware Avenue. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to perform extensive pavement restoration, including routing and sealing structural cracks, cleaning bituminous concrete surfaces, applying a rubberized sand slurry coat, and restriping approximately 8,750 square yards with various vehicle and walkway markings. Bidders must submit a certificate of insurance, complete a non-collusion agreement, and fill out a bidder qualification form demonstrating previous experience in comparable municipal pavement maintenance projects. The work is scheduled to be performed over three consecutive weekends in the 2025 calendar year, with specific requirements including minimum temperature constraints and work hour limitations. Quotes are due by July 4th, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, and can be submitted via email to Highway Superintendent Marc Dorsey, by US mail, or in person at the Bethlehem Highway Department. Evaluation criteria will likely include past performance, technical capability, and compliance with project specifications. The Town of Bethlehem reserves the right to reject any bids not meeting the specified requirements, and there is an optional provision for a second coat of materials at a reduced application rate.

The procurement documents do not explicitly mention any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or other restricted participation categories. Potential bidders are required to provide at least two references from comparable work completed within the last three years, indicating a focus on established contractors with proven municipal pavement maintenance experience. While the exact budget range is not specified in the documents, the project involves comprehensive parking lot restoration for a municipal facility, suggesting a moderate-scale infrastructure improvement project. The bid documents emphasize independent bid preparation and warn against collusion, with potential bidders required to certify their bid's independence under penalty of perjury. The project includes detailed mapping in Appendix A, which provides specific instructions for parking space markings, including police-only parking spaces with precise line and lettering specifications. The Town reserves the right to reject any bids that do not fully comply with the project requirements, and all work must be completed within the 2025 calendar year or the bid will be considered null and void. Interested contractors are encouraged to view the lot and specifications independently or contact the highway superintendent for additional information or a site escort.
