SB/DVBE ONLY* IFPQ Pavement Replacement Services in Orange County

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has issued an Invitation for Price Quote (IFPQ) No. 12A2260 for Pavement Replacement Services in Orange County, specifically targeting the Brea Maintenance Yard. The project involves comprehensive pavement and infrastructure rehabilitation, including removing and replacing existing asphalt concrete pavement, concrete driveway, and installing paint pavement markings, signs, parking bumpers, traffic stripes, and electrical loops across three distinct locations: West Lot, Employee Parking Lot, and East Entrance. Contractors must provide all necessary labor, materials, tools, and equipment to complete the work. An optional site inspection is scheduled for April 29, 2025, at 13571 West Central Avenue, Brea, CA, with written questions due by May 1, 2025, and final quote submissions required by May 5, 2025. Bidders must possess specific contractor licenses, including Class A - General Engineering, C-10 Electrical, C-12 Earthwork and Paving, or C-32 Parking and Highway Improvement, and must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Evaluation criteria will likely focus on compliance with technical specifications, licensing requirements, and staying within the maximum contract amount of $461,000.

This procurement is exclusively reserved for Small Businesses (SB), including Micro Businesses (MB), Small Businesses for Public Works (SB-PW), or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE), with mandatory certification through the Department of General Services (DGS). Contractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations and comply with various state regulations, including organic waste recycling, employment practices, and civil rights laws. Prevailing wage requirements will apply if the total bid amount exceeds $15,000. The proposed contract term runs from June 16, 2025, to June 15, 2026, with an anticipated award date of May 19, 2025. Bidders exceeding the $461,000 contract amount will be deemed non-responsive, effectively limiting the scope and scale of potential contractors. The project encompasses multiple jurisdictions within Orange County, including Orange County, Orange Blossom CDP, Orange City, Orange Cove City, and Orangevale CDP, suggesting a comprehensive regional infrastructure improvement initiative.
