Solicitation 161237 is an Invitation for Bids issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation for asphalt patching services across multiple counties, specifically within Southampton and Sussex Counties. The scope of work involves highway construction requiring specialized equipment and labor, including the use of asphalt spreaders, distributors, milling machines, pavement planers, and rollers. Bidders must comply with the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry Wage Determination Decision and adhere to Environmental Protection Agency National Ambient Air Quality Standards, which includes suspending the use of specific gasoline and diesel equipment on predicted code red ozone days between May and September. To be considered responsive, bidders must submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan and provide Virginia State Corporation Commission registration information. The contract mandates strict licensing requirements per the Code of Virginia, requiring Class A, B, or C certifications based on the total contract value and the bidder's annual business volume. Additionally, all subcontracting of work or equipment requires prior written consent from the agency, and the primary contractor remains fully liable for all subcontractor performance. The Commonwealth emphasizes small business participation, targeting over 42 percent of purchases from small businesses, including DSBSD-certified women-owned, minority-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises.
