Amador County – The California Department of Transportation on Tuesday announced a mandatory pre-bid meeting for an estimated $77 million project on Interstate 5.

District 10 Caltrans public information officer Chantel Miller said the mandatory pre-bid meeting will be based on the “Interstate 5-North Stockton widening project,” and prime contractors and subcontractors interested in bidding on the project should attend.

The I-5-North Stockton Widening Project is Contract No. 10-0G4704. The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 9-11 a.m. Wednesday, March 23 at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds, 1658 South Airport Way, in Building Number 5 in Stockton.

Miller said the “project proposes the widening of I-5 in Stockton from six to eight lanes from Country Club Boulevard to Eight Mile Road, within existing right-of-way.” She said the “Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise” goal is 4 percent, and the estimated construction cost is $77 million.

Prime-contractors are mandated to attend the pre-bid meeting in order to bid the contract. This is a great opportunity for Small Businesses, Disadvantage Business Enterprises, and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises to become certified and to network with prime contractors.

Miller said those interested in attending should RSVP by Friday, March 18 to Silvia Dayak, by phone at (209) 948-7855.
