SB Minor B 03A3899 Remove concrete slabs in Sacramento County

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is seeking a certified Small Business contractor to complete a roadway construction project in Sacramento County along State Highway Route 5 at Pocket Road Overcrossing. The procurement is a Small Business Minor B Contract (No. 03A3899) involving concrete slab removal, pavement structural section application, and related road construction activities. Key deliverables include 75 cubic yards of roadway excavation, 900 square yards of subgrade enhancement geogrid, 720 tons of hot mix asphalt, 420 cubic yards of concrete pavement removal, and various lengths of thermoplastic traffic striping. The project must be completed within 10 working days, with bids due by December 10, 2024, at 2:15 p.m. Contractors must submit their proposals via email to arminder.singh@dot.ca.gov and are restricted from submitting bids over $461,000. Required qualifications include either a Class A or applicable Class C contractor's license and certification as a Small Business at the time of quote submission.

The contract has specific set-aside designations requiring the prime contractor to be a certified Small Business, though no mandatory Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation goal is established. While DVBE participation is encouraged, it is not a requirement for bid submission. The estimated project value is approximately $380,000, with potential liquidated damages ranging from $1,800 to $3,600 per 10-minute interval for time overruns. Bidders must also comply with environmental protocols related to migratory and nesting birds between February 1st and September 30th. Payment bonds and insurance will be required for the awarded contractor. Additionally, the solicitation documents note potential accessibility limitations and provide a contact method for requesting accessible versions of the procurement materials. Contractors currently in default with Caltrans may have their bids rejected as non-responsive, and the contract includes provisions for damages in case of failure to execute, calculated as 10% of the bid amount or actual damages, whichever is less.
