93% Sulfuric Acid for Water Resources Division

The Sacramento County Department of Airports is procuring a comprehensive runway rehabilitation project for Runway 4R-22L at Mather Airport, involving extensive pavement reconstruction and infrastructure improvements. The project requires a Class A California contractor with specialized expertise in airport infrastructure, focusing on removing existing Portland cement concrete (PCC) and asphalt concrete (AC) pavements, installing crushed aggregate base course, constructing asphalt emulsified recycled base course, and installing new bituminous asphalt and concrete pavements. Specific deliverables include pavement markings, centerline and touchdown zone light cans, electrical conduits, and comprehensive flight-check readiness. The procurement is structured across three distinct project phases with specific timeline allocations: Phase 0 (Mobilization and Electrical Procurement) runs 71 calendar days from March 1 to May 11, 2024, with subsequent phases covering runway rehabilitation and comprehensive infrastructure modernization. The bid submission deadline is October 26, 2023, at 2:00 pm, with pre-bid questions due by October 6, 2023. Contractors must demonstrate significant technical expertise, particularly electrical contractors who are required to have at least five years of experience in airfield lighting and signage installation.

The contract incorporates multiple non-discrimination and compliance requirements, including Title VI Non-Discrimination Assurances covering protections based on race, color, national origin, age, sex, and disability. Bidders must comply with federal provisions such as Davis-Bacon wage requirements, Buy America provisions, and equal employment opportunity goals. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly detailed, the project includes comprehensive federal oversight mechanisms, including FHWA-1273 federal regulations covering subcontracting, workplace safety, and certification processes. The estimated construction budget is $31,600,000, with funding sourced partially through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and partially through non-AIP sources. Contractors will be evaluated on base bid pricing, with detailed line-item assessments for various tasks including pavement removal, excavation, base course installation, surface courses, electrical work, and temporary markings. Liquidated damages are structured by phase, ranging from $500 to $10,000 per day for project delays, and most equipment installations carry a 12-month warranty, with LED light fixtures specifically warranted for a minimum of 4 years.
