HMA (Type A) and modify signal and lighting systems.

The contract pertains to the placement of Hot Mix Asphalt Type A and the modification of traffic signal and lighting systems along a designated roadway segment in Kern County, California, stretching from Mohawk Street to the Route 58/99/178 Separation near Bakersfield. The project is administered by the California Department of Transportation under solicitation number 06-1H9804, with a scheduled bid opening on June 16, 2026, and an estimated contract value of $730,000, though this amount is marked as not guaranteed. The work is anticipated to be completed within 35 working days, with performance entirely localized to the specified route in Kern County. Contractors must hold either a Class A license or a combination of Class C-12 and C-32 licenses to qualify for award. All bid documents, plans, and specifications are accessible electronically through Caltrans’ Work with Caltrans portal and CaleProcure, and submissions are required to be made electronically via the designated portal with no paper submissions permitted. The solicitation does not include detailed contract clauses, evaluation factors, line-item pricing, or special requirements typically found in federal acquisition documentation, as it is governed under California state procurement procedures rather than full federal FAR compliance. While the NAICS code 237310 indicates classification under highway, street, and bridge construction, specific compliance standards such as Caltrans Standard Specifications, AASHTO, or MUTCD are referenced only implicitly through the nature of the work and are expected to be referenced in the full project documents available online. Inspection and acceptance will occur on-site by Caltrans, with quality assurance expected to align with state transportation construction norms. The agency has not provided payment office details, accounting codes, invoicing systems, or designated COR/COTR contacts, directing all inquiries to its centralized bid inquiry portal. No socioeconomic set-asides, size certifications, or DBE reporting obligations are outlined in the solicitation, though general compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act is acknowledged. The contract type remains unspecified, but the scope, delivery schedule, and license requirements define it as a fixed-price construction undertaking without options or modifications indicated at this stage.
