The scope of work includes grinding and paving 13,700 square feet of 4-inch hot mix asphalt (HMA) digouts, clearing and grubbing, implementing traffic control and storm water pollution measures, and applying approximately 34,200 linear feet of pavement striping and markings. The project is estimated at $200,000, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder based on the total base bid. Bids are due by 2:00 PM on September 22, 2026, and must be submitted electronically via Bid Express or as sealed paper bids to the Director of Public Works in San Rafael. The project must be completed within 15 working days, which includes a 10-day review period and 5 days of field work; failure to meet this timeline results in liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day. Bidders must provide a proposal guaranty of 10% of the base bid and evidence of qualification by listing at least two similar pavement digout projects completed on narrow arterial or collector roads. The contractor is required to adhere to 2025 Caltrans Standard Specifications and Plans, Marin Uniform Construction Standards, and California prevailing wage laws. Key requirements include the submission of a site-specific traffic control plan, the use of two coats of paint for all markings, and the protection of existing facilities and survey monuments. Performance and payment bonds are required upon award.
