Street Improvement Project 2026

The Town of Colmar Manor, Maryland is requesting proposals for a street improvement project involving asphalt milling and overlay work on approximately 13,000 square yards of town streets, with electronic bids due September 4, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. and a pre-bid meeting scheduled for August 14, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at Colmar Manor Town Hall. The project is federally funded under a Community Development Block Grant and subject to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements.

The scope includes milling existing asphalt to 2-inch depth, cleaning and tack coating, installing 2 inches of Hot Mix Surface Asphalt (TYPE 9.5MM 64-22), reinstalling speedbumps on 43rd Avenue, Newton Street, and Lawrence Street, and completing full pavement striping. Work must be completed by October 30, 2026 during weather conducive to proper installation, with hours limited to 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday only. The vendor is responsible for traffic management; the Town handles resident notifications and vehicle relocation. Any utility damage caused by the vendor is the vendor's responsibility.

The bid budget is capped at $284,850 total. Bidders must submit unit prices for asphalt milling and overlay per square yard, speedbump reinstallation per item, and striping per linear foot, along with performance and payment bonds calculated as a percentage of contract value. No bid bond is required. Contractors must provide proof of general liability, worker's compensation, automotive, and umbrella coverage of at least $1 million for each type.

Liquidated damages of $500 per day apply for failure to meet the October 30 deadline. The Town Council will make the final award decision at their September 15 meeting and expects full payment to the vendor within 30 days upon completion and approval. The Town reserves the right to reject any and all bids and encourages applications from minority, woman-owned, and local businesses.
