Primes bidding Caltrans construction contracts and local roadway projects

What Tower DVBE supplies on roadway and highway construction (Caltrans and local)

On non-federal-aid Caltrans contracts the DVBE goal ($5M and under) or incentive (over $5M) is met with the bid items a DVBE supplier furnishes: signs and traffic control, erosion control, drainage and safety hardware.

The plan opens with these material groups as lines; put your quantities on them, add anything missing, and send it for a same-day quote. Bid due today? Call Carson Reed at 916-949-9361.

The DVBE rule on these bids: Caltrans 2025 Standard Specifications §2-1.22 (DVBE goal or incentive); Construction Manual §8-405A gives DVBE suppliers full credit for a commercially useful function. Federal-aid contracts use the DBE program instead.
