The preponderance of the work will be in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. The term - self-perform refers to performing relevant and major construction trade work in-house without subcontractors. This does not include administrative or management functions. Relevant and major trade work is that which is the same or similar to the work that may be ordered under the proposed contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) with a small business size standard of $45.0 million. Task orders issued under the proposed multiple award contract(s) will be performed at various government installations located in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. However, it is anticipated that most projects will be performed in California. The proposed contract(s) will be for one (1) base period of two (2) years and six (6) option periods of one (1) year each, resulting in the contract performance period maximum of eight (8) years. The estimated total contract price for the base period and option period for all contracts combined is $99,000,000. Task order range is estimated as $100,000 to $7,500,000. Projects will be primarily design-build or secondarily fully designed for new construction and repair of roads and other paved areas. Projects may include, but are not limited to: repair of deteriorated asphalt or Portland cement concrete pavement (including full-depth or partial removal, repairs to subgrade and base materials, patching, slurry seal, crack cleaning, and replacement); cold milling of existing asphalt pavement; asphalt overlays; construction of new asphalt or Portland cement concrete pavement (including subgrade and base materials); and pavement marking (striping, reflective markers, signage). Projects may also include site work incidental to paving, including, but not limited to: clearing and grubbing; excavation and earthwork; storm drainage systems and structures; sidewalks; curbs and gutters; wheel stops; disposal and/or recycling of construction and demolition debris.

At least one (1) of the relevant projects submitted shall include sidewalks, storm drain systems, and pavement markings (these do not have to be in the same project). At least one (1) of the relevant self-performed projects shall demonstrate experience in design-build contracts. At least one (1) of the relevant self-performed projects shall have been performed by the firm as a prime contractor.
