NV FLAP NYE 10(1) Final Pavement Report_2026-03-03.pdf

This is a Final Pavement Report documenting the results of pavement condition assessments for the NV FLAP NYE 10(1) Bob Ruud Memorial Highway and Bell Vista Avenue project. The report provides technical evaluation data that informs the roadway reconstruction and rehabilitation solicitation (6982AF26B000003) issued by the Federal Highway Administration's Central Federal Lands Highway Division. The pavement assessment establishes the baseline condition of approximately 20 miles of roadway extending from Pahrump at the intersection of State Highway 160 and Bell Vista Avenue to areas providing access to Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge and Death Valley National Park, serving as the technical foundation for determining the scope and extent of required improvements.

The Final Pavement Report supports the planned project work, which includes full-depth reclamation (FDR) across 32 miles at varying depths (4-inch and 8-inch), installation of new aggregate base (30,000–50,000 tons), asphalt paving (65,000–80,000 tons), and culvert replacement (1,000–2,500 linear feet of 24-inch culvert). The report's technical findings justify the project's $20–$40 million estimated cost range and support the anticipated solicitation advertisement in May 2026, with project award targeted for June 2026 and completion by May 2027. This is a full and open competition solicitation with no identified set-asides or special contracting vehicles.
