The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has issued a Small Business Minor B contract opportunity (Contract No. 06A3199) for highway maintenance and improvement work in Tulare County, specifically on State Route 190 between Post Miles 14.6 and 15.5 near Porterville. The procurement involves cold planing 0.25' asphalt concrete pavement and placing 0.25' hot mix asphalt (HMA) Type A, with comprehensive construction activities including traffic control, street sweeping, pavement marking, and traffic striping. Key deliverables include processing approximately 2,330 tons of hot mix asphalt, coldplaning 14,300 square yards of pavement, installing 400 retroreflective pavement markers, and completing various linear feet of thermoplastic traffic stripes. The project is scheduled for completion within 20 working days, with proposals due on May 15, 2025. Bidders must submit their quotes electronically to Jomlonglak.Kamaay@dot.ca.gov, with a strict maximum bid limit of $461,000 to comply with Public Contract Code 10105(b).

The contract is exclusively reserved for Certified Small Businesses, with prime contractors required to hold a Class A contractor's license. While no specific Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) contract goal has been established, Caltrans encourages DVBE participation. The total estimated project value is $401,500, and successful bidders will be required to provide payment bonds and insurance upon contract award. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a Subcontractor List, Small Business Status form, and other required paperwork. The project will be funded through the California State Transportation Agency and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder who meets all specification requirements. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the project appears to be a standalone highway maintenance and improvement initiative focusing on pavement rehabilitation and traffic infrastructure enhancement in the Tulare County region.
