Beaverhead Flat Road and Cornville Road Improvement Project

Yavapai County is soliciting bids for the installation of a two-inch asphaltic concrete overlay on Beaverhead Flat Road and a section of Cornville Road, with an engineer’s estimate of $6,366,133.40. The solicitation, numbered 26-PW-55 and posted on May 19, 2026, will close on June 4, 2026, at 1:30 PM MST, with all bids required to be submitted electronically via the OpenGov Procurement Portal. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price arrangement and will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning the contract goes to the lowest bidder who meets all minimum technical requirements without trade-offs between cost and quality. Work must comply with ADOT and MAG standards, including specifications for crack sealing, guardrail installation using composite offset blocks, thermoplastic pavement striping in white and yellow, and traffic control measures aligned with MUTCD 2009. Materials must meet ASTM and AASHTO standards, and pavement smoothness must not exceed 1/8 inch deviation over a 10-foot straight edge. The contractor must provide performance and payment bonds at 100% of the contract value, as required by Arizona law, along with commercial general liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, automobile liability of $1 million, and workers’ compensation as mandated by state law—all naming Yavapai County as an additional insured with waiver of subrogation. The contractor assumes full responsibility for all state and local taxes, including transaction privilege tax, and must indemnify the County against any tax liabilities arising from the work. A 12-month warranty on materials and workmanship begins at project acceptance and survives contract termination. Performance must be completed with time as of the essence, with liquidated damages of $1,420 per day for delays. The County retains sole authority for inspection and acceptance, with final approval contingent on testing by an ADOT/AASHTO-accredited lab and certification by a licensed Arizona engineer. All work is subject to funding availability, and the County may terminate without liability if funds are not appropriated. Bidders must certify compliance with anti-boycott regulations, prohibit forced labor in their supply chains, and affirm no collusion, and must provide their FEIN, Arizona contractor license, and transaction privilege tax number. The contract supersedes all other documents except
