Roadway milling and in-place Bituminous Concrete.

The project involves roadway milling and in-place bituminous concrete resurfacing on East Stahl Road and Hewins Street in Sheffield, Massachusetts, covering approximately 4 miles with a total estimated cost of around $804,075. The work includes milling about 45,000 square yards and applying roughly 6,825 tons of asphalt for a 2-inch top layer, with all materials and workmanship required to meet MassDOT specifications. Bidders must be pre-qualified by MassDOT for Pavement Surfacing, submit sealed bids by September 8, 2025, and ensure the completion of all work by November 1, 2025. The contract mandates a 5% bid security, along with 100% performance and payment bonds from the successful bidder. Additionally, a minimum of 5% minority workforce participation in each labor class is required, and wage rates must comply with Massachusetts state law. The contract includes provisions for price adjustments based on MassDOT’s asphalt material prices, which must be reflected on invoices. The bidding process is overseen by the Town of Sheffield’s Select Board, which reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive minor irregularities, and award the contract in a manner deemed in the best interest of the town. Bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes marked "HEWINS, EAST STAHL PAVING" and delivered to the Town Hall by the specified deadline. The contract documents specify that all work and materials must conform to MassDOT standards, but do not detail specific inspection or acceptance procedures beyond compliance with these standards. The project’s administration and oversight are managed through the town’s office, with no explicit mention of federal clauses or additional certifications beyond prequalification and workforce participation requirements.
