SB Minor B - 11A4467 - Imperial County

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is soliciting unit-price quotes for pavement rehabilitation and facility improvements at the Brawley Maintenance Station in Imperial County, with quotes due November 16, 2026 at 2:15 p.m. The Small Business Minor B contract is reserved for bidders certified as small businesses under section 2-1.05. Caltrans establishes no Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) contract goal but encourages DVBE participation.

The work sits along State Route 78 at post mile 14.3 and comprises seven line items: job site management, water pollution control program preparation, temporary concrete washout, 1,800 tons of Type A hot mix asphalt, 0.45 tons of tack coat, removal of 823 cubic yards of existing asphalt concrete, and 40 cubic yards of minor concrete. Designated areas totaling approximately 44,450 square feet receive six-inch Portland cement concrete in place of existing asphalt. The contractor must hold a current Class A contractor's license and complete all work within 30 working days. Prevailing wage requirements do not apply, though certified payroll records are required by final invoice where applicable.

Caltrans estimates the project at $453,700. Bids exceeding $484,000 will be rejected under Public Contract Code 10105(b). Award goes to the lowest responsible bidder within 30 days after the quote opening. A payment bond equal to 100 percent of the bid is required for bids over $25,000, and payment bonds and insurance are required at award for the low bidder. Quotes must be submitted by email only to Arlena.Tedder@dot.ca.gov, and hard-copy bids will not be accepted. A bidder that fails to execute the contract faces liability for actual damages or 10 percent of the bid amount, whichever is less, plus potential default listing that bars future Caltrans project eligibility.
