This solicitation specifically aims to expand the Small Business and Utility Pools to support growing program needs across Merced, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kings, and Kern counties. The MATOC is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with a five-year ordering period, covering a wide array of repair and minor construction services, including general construction, specialized geotechnical and surveying services, utility relocation, and branding.

Phase I evaluates technical acceptability, experience, and past performance, while Phase II involves a price and technical evaluation based on a seed project. Qualified proposers include large businesses as well as SB, SB-PW, DBE, and DVBE entities, with a specific 3 percent DVBE goal applied to the entire contract value. Proposals must be submitted electronically to Gilberto Baca by December 16, 2026, and must include comprehensive administrative documentation, certifications, and a detailed technical narrative.
