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

Chantel Miller of Caltrans 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 meeting is scheduled for 9-11 a.m. Wednesday, March 23 at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds 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.” The “Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise” goal is 4 percent.

Miller said: “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.”

Those interested in attending should RSVP by Friday, March 18 by phone at (209) 948-7855.
