2026 Micro Slurry Project

The City of Elko is awarding a public‑works contract for the application of a Type III polymer‑modified micro‑slurry pavement surface across multiple city streets, a downtown corridor, Herrera Field, and a city shop parking area. The scope includes mobilization/demobilization, a MUTCD‑compliant traffic‑control plan with centerline tabs, the micro‑slurry mix design, placement, striping, and thermoplastic pavement markings, as well as a contingency “force account” line item. Bids are evaluated on the lowest responsive and responsible price, with unit‑price pricing for the slurry and striping items and lump‑sum pricing for mobilization and traffic control. The contract will be issued to Sierra Nevada Construction, Inc., and requires a 10 % bid bond, performance and payment bonds, prevailing‑wage compliance, and a 30‑day post‑award insurance submission. The work must commence no later than the issuance of a Notice to Proceed and be substantially completed within 30 calendar days thereafter, with a project‑completion deadline of 31 December 2027. • Core work: polymer‑modified micro‑slurry application (≈ 253,000 SY) plus traffic‑control and striping. • Procurement: sealed‑bid, full open competition; award to lowest responsive bidder (Sierra Nevada Construction). • Key compliance: Nevada contractor’s license, City business license, 10 % bid bond, performance/payment bonds, prevailing‑wage, safety training, and insurance requirements.
