RFP High Density Mineral Bond - Street Maintenance Project

The City of Laredo is seeking proposals for the High Density Mineral Bond - Street Maintenance Project, which involves the application of a high-density mineral bond surface treatment to approximately 500,000 square yards of roadway. This treatment is intended to extend pavement life, improve durability, and provide a skid-resistant, sealed surface on designated roadways throughout the city. The project encompasses not only surface preservation but also related tasks such as removal and installation of stop bars, reflective pavement buttons, crosswalk striping, and pavement markings. Contractors will be responsible for all aspects of the work including labor, materials, equipment, traffic control, and incidentals needed to complete the project in line with the city’s specifications. The contract period is set at 120 working days from the designated commencement date. Bidders must provide a cashier’s or certified check, or a qualifying bid bond of no less than five percent of the total bid, backed by an insurer licensed in Texas and rated at least “A” according to Best’s Key Rating Guide. Successful contractors must also submit proof of insurance and performance and payment bonds as detailed in the contract documents. The estimated project value ranges between $1,500,000 and $3,000,000, and all work will take place within Laredo, Texas. The initiative underscores the city’s commitment to proactively maintaining and enhancing its roadway infrastructure.
