2026 Rehabilitate Taxiway R & Airline Air Cargo Apron

The City of Chico is soliciting sealed bids for the rehabilitation of Taxiway R and the Airline Air Cargo Apron at the Chico Regional Airport, located at 150 Airpark Blvd, Chico, CA 95973, with bids due by 2:00 p.m. PDT on June 4, 2026. The work encompasses crack sealing, pavement surface treatment, and application of new pavement markings in accordance with Fed Std 595, including glass bead application and retroreflectivity standards. The project is estimated at $550,000 and must be completed within 25 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $3,400 per calendar day for delays. Funding is anticipated from the Federal Aviation Administration through AIP Grant No. 3-06-0041-x00-2026, making award contingent upon receipt of the federal grant. Bids must be submitted electronically via the Public Purchase website, with all questions routed through the same portal and required to be submitted no later than seven calendar days before the bid opening. The contract employs a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach, requiring bidders to meet all technical specifications and mandatory certifications, including compliance with Davis-Bacon wage requirements, the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise regulations under 49 CFR Part 26. Contractors must affirm no tax delinquencies or felony convictions within the past 24 months and must report any lobbying activities using Standard Form-LLL. All materials must arrive in sealed, quantifiable containers and meet ASTM, AASHTO, and FAA Advisory Circular standards, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Resident Project Representative at the project site. Security requirements mandate escorted access to airfield areas, radio communication for all drivers, immediate repair of any fencing damage, and strict adherence to airport safety protocols. No formal contract type is specified, but the structure and clauses suggest a firm-fixed-price construction contract. Key certifications are integrated into standalone forms requiring signed attestations, and while no Unique Entity ID or CAGE code is explicitly required, debarment status will be verified via SAM.gov. The contract imposes strict compliance with environmental and stormwater permit obligations and prohibits any unprotected or unsupervised activity within the operational airfield zone.
