On-Call & Emergency Utility Trench Paving

The contract is for on-call and emergency utility trench paving and concrete repair services within the City of Ontario, California, under solicitation number 1994, with a bid submission deadline of May 26, 2026. The scope requires the contractor to perform immediate repairs to utility trenches, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks as needed, including the removal and disposal of existing asphalt and concrete, paving and fog sealing of trenches, concrete construction, and full compliance with state stormwater permits and traffic control requirements. All work must be performed on City property, with no fixed location specified, and must meet industry standards for quality and safety. The contract is awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning the lowest-priced responsible bidder who meets all mandatory requirements will be selected. Full technical compliance includes adherence to applicable paving and concrete construction practices, proper debris removal, and implementation of all necessary safety measures. The bid must be submitted electronically via the PlanetBids system, and failure to receive a confirmed submission timestamp will render the bid non-responsive; no alternative submission methods are accepted. Bidders are solely responsible for ensuring their systems and internet connectivity are fully functional for transmission. A 10 percent bid bond is required, and only bidders who submit complete and compliant bids will be considered. Contractors must be responsible, hold a valid City business license, and comply with a set of mandatory provisions including E-Verify enrollment, adherence to the No-Boycott Act, and US-sourcing requirements that restrict material procurement to U.S.-manufactured products unless they are unavailable at reasonable cost. Insurance mandates include $2 million general liability, $1 million automobile liability, and workers’ compensation coverage as legally required, with certificates showing waiver of subrogation and 30-day cancellation notice to the City. The contractor must indemnify the City against all claims arising from the work, and the contract forbids assignment without prior written consent. Performance must begin within 10 days of contract award, and work will be executed on an as-needed basis under individual purchase orders. There is no stated contract value due to the absence of pricing data, as the contract operates as an on-call arrangement without guaranteed volumes. The City’s Purchasing Office serves as the point of contact, and no formal contract administration personnel are designated as COR, COTR, or PCO. Local preference is not applicable here, and socioeconomic set-asides are not part of the solicitation. No formal attachments, packaging requirements, or detailed evaluation weights are
