Asphalt Supply (Hot Mix)

The City of Chico has issued a subcontract for the supply of hot mix asphalt (HMA) to support mill and overlay operations, with the material expected to be produced at a local batch plant within reasonable hauling distance of Chico. The contract is classified under NAICS code 324121, which corresponds to petroleum refineries, and is tied to infrastructure maintenance activities aimed at improving road surfaces through pavement rehabilitation. The work is scheduled to be performed entirely within the city of Chico, ensuring logistical efficiency and minimizing transportation costs and environmental impact. The contract was posted on July 2, 2026, and is part of a larger municipal effort to upgrade roadways, likely in alignment with regional transportation priorities. While no specific solicitation number is listed, the contract is accessible via a public link tied to California’s CEQA network, indicating compliance with state environmental review requirements. The project does not specify a set-aside status, suggesting it is open to general industry participation, and all performance obligations are confined to the local area, emphasizing the use of regional resources and subcontractors to support economic development in the region.
