UT NP ARCH 100(2) Pre-Show Powerpoint 10-8-2026.pdf

This file is a pre-show PowerPoint presentation for a federal contract opportunity related to bridge reconstruction on Delicate Arch Road within Arches National Park. The presentation supports Solicitation Number 6982AF27B000005, issued by the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration for Project UT NP ARCH 100(2). The project involves designing and constructing three 100-foot span concrete bridges at Salt Valley Wash, Salt Wash, and Winter Camp Wash to replace inadequate culverts installed during original road construction in the mid-1990s. The work encompasses roadway reconstruction (4R) and restoration (3R) activities, including raising the Delicate Arch Road profile to accommodate a 10-year design frequency, realigning the roadway at Salt Valley Wash, and performing full-depth reclamation or pavement removal with a 4-inch overlay on remaining sections.

Principal work items include 10,000 cubic yards of embankment construction, 1,725 cubic yards of Class 3 riprap placement, 5,140 tons of roadway aggregate using Method 2, and asphalt concrete pavement installation. The project is located within Arches National Park and addresses chronic flooding and sediment deposition issues that currently create unsafe visitor conditions, trigger road closures, strand park visitors, diminish visitor experience, and generate substantial operational costs. The PowerPoint presentation serves as pre-solicitation information to brief prospective contractors on project scope, objectives, and technical requirements prior to formal proposal submission.
