2026 Annual Micro-Surfacing

The City of Lathrop is soliciting bids for its 2026 Annual Micro-Surfacing project, which involves comprehensive pavement rehabilitation on residential and minor collector streets within the River Islands subdivisions. The scope includes crack sealing, removal of existing traffic markers and thermoplastic striping, installation of approximately 170,000 square yards of Type II micro-surfacing with Black Rock, and reapplication of updated traffic markers and thermoplastic striping. All work must comply with applicable standards including ASTM, the California Building Code, Caltrans specifications, and other state codes, with the most stringent requirement governing in case of conflict. Contractors are responsible for mobilization, traffic and erosion control, protection of utilities and survey monuments, and full compliance with contract documents. The project has an estimated value of $1,100,000 and is structured as a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) procurement, meaning award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder without trade-offs on technical factors beyond minimum acceptability. Bids must be submitted as hard copies to the City’s Public Works Department by the deadline, with no electronic submissions permitted. Offerors are required to complete all forms in Volume 1 of the bid package, including a bid bond, and must demonstrate responsibility through financial capacity, past performance, and adherence to public policy. Critical requirements include strict adherence to packaging and storage protocols to prevent damage or degradation of materials, with all products maintained in original, unopened containers under manufacturer-recommended conditions. The City retains final inspection and acceptance authority at the work site, with no delegation of this right. Contractors bear full cost and schedule risk for any material substitutions, must conduct all testing at their own expense, and have no right to appeal rejection of equivalent items. Additional certifications are mandated under California Public Contract Code, including disclosures for prior disqualifications, court contempt, drug convictions, and DIR registration compliance, though no UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic certifications are required. Payment is to be requested electronically through the Project Manager using a prescribed spreadsheet format, and all work must be completed within the Contract Time as defined in the Construction Documents.
