The City of Worcester is procuring long‑patch pavement repair services for its Department of Public Works on an “as‑needed” basis across multiple city locations. The contract is a sealed‑bid, fixed‑price public‑works solicitation that requires the contractor to cut, fit, and patch existing asphalt surfaces, perform related sub‑base work, handle utility and manhole adjustments, install curb work, repair concrete elements, and provide water‑borne striping. Bidders must submit a detailed unit‑price schedule covering excavation, milling, paving, concrete repair, and striping items, and provide the required performance and labor‑payment bonds, insurance, and MWBE compliance documentation. The award was made to A.F. Amorello & Sons, Inc. with a winning bid of $1,253,321.75 (including a $91,050 contingency reserve).
