The bid opening is set for May 29, 2012, at 2:00 p.m., in the Board of Supervisors' Conference Room 1032, Monterey County Government Center, 168 West Alisal Street, 1st Floor, Salinas, CA 93901. Project construction is scheduled to begin in August 2012.
The contract for the procurement of emulsion is a component of the Project. The contract consists of the purchase, delivery, and spreading of asphalt emulsion to various roads countywide. Contingent upon funding availability, the Project proposes to scrub seal and fog seal the entire length of Molera Road in the San Miguel District and Carmel Valley Road from Rancho San Carlos to Schulte Road in the Monterey District. The Greenfield District will chip seal Freeman Flat Road, Oasis Road, Lockwood-San Lucas Road, and Bunte Road while the San Ardo District also chip seals Pine Canyon Road and Paris Valley Road. These roads are being readied for sealing with FY 2011-12 General Fund contribution to the Road Fund. The Bridge and Roads Maintenance Division of the Department of Public Works is doing preparatory patching work. The Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA guidelines Section 15301(c).
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of the County Counsel, Auditor-Controller, and Risk Management have reviewed and approved the Special Provisions as to form and legality, fiscal terms, and insurance provisions respectively.
FINANCING:
There is no financial impact to the General Fund. Total estimated project cost, including project management, engineering, and construction, is $505,000. There are sufficient appropriations in the Public Works Road Fund (Fund 002, Unit 8195) to finance this Project.
