SB Minor B 04A7419 - Culvert Replacement - Contra Costa County

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is seeking a certified Small Business contractor for the SB Minor B 04A7419 Culvert Replacement project located in Contra Costa County. The procurement specifically targets culvert replacement services within the Contra Costa Centre CDP jurisdiction. Interested bidders must submit their proposals electronically via email to tammy.p.tran@dot.ca.gov by the submission deadline of January 6, 2026. Strict submission requirements mandate that bids cannot exceed $461,000.00, and only electronic submissions will be accepted, with hard copy bids being automatically rejected. The project requires successful bidders to provide payment bonds and insurance documentation at the time of contract award, and while the solicitation documents are currently not fully digitally accessible, interested parties can request accessible versions through the provided http://bit.ly/dpac-ada portal or by calling (916) 654-2852.

This state and local contract opportunity is exclusively reserved for certified Small Businesses under section 2-1.05, with no mandatory Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation goals, though DVBE participation is encouraged. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract requires bidders to meet strict small business certification criteria. No explicit budget range is provided in the documentation, but the $461,000.00 bid ceiling suggests a moderate-scale infrastructure improvement project. The Department of Transportation emphasizes the importance of small business participation and provides flexibility for potential DVBE involvement. Contractors must be prepared to demonstrate their small business status, comply with all electronic submission requirements, and be ready to provide comprehensive payment bonds and insurance documentation if selected as the lowest responsive bidder.
