 DESCRIPTION

 The Operations Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Philadelphia District intends to award a firm fixed price contract to repair access roads and parking Lots of Dry Brooks Day Use Area, Blue Marsh Lake, Leesport, PA.

Description of Work:

The Dry Brooks Day Use Area access road is approximately 6500 feet long, providing primary access to several parking lots for picnic areas, a swimming beach and rest rooms. Approximately 27,000 Square Yards (SY) of access road and parking areas under the base contract will be milled and repaved.

After full-depth removal of the existing asphalt, prepare the existing aggregate base course by nominally re-grading to re-establish proper grades and re-compacting. Pavement will be removed full-depth down to the existing aggregate base course and then replaced with new asphalt of the same or greater thickness. The depth of asphalt to be removed and replaced is estimated to be typically 3.5 inches thick. Increase the existing asphalt paved road width by 1 foot on both sides of the road. Millings should be stockpiled where directed by the Head Dam Operator for future maintenance use.

Approximately 10,500 SY of additional parking and turn-around areas may be completed under three possible options depending on availability of funds.

The purpose of this project is to reconstruct various sections of distressed asphalt concrete pavement, which is well beyond its service life. Reconstruction will typically involve demolition of the existing asphalt pavement by milling, preparing the existing aggregate base course, replacing any unstable subgrade areas, shoulder widening in a few areas, and placement of 4 inches of new hot mix asphalt pavement. A pavement drainage layer will also be added to the full pavement section in three localized areas exhibiting excessive damage. Pavement striping will be replaced in-kind.

There is one culvert that will be extended due to shoulder extension to accommodate a wider pavement area in a location where vehicles currently drive on shoulder. The existing 18" corrugated metal pipe (CMP) requires an 8 foot extension and new end section. There is a requirement for a 6" aggregate bedding and a 12" minimum of backfill cover over the extended pipe.

 Solicitation Number W912BU-20-B-0005 will be issued on or about 4 June 2020 with bid opening date occurring at least 30 days after the Solicitation. The period of performance is 90 calendar days. Estimated cost range of the project is $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00.

This acquisition will be made using Invitation For Bid, a single award will be made as a whole, to the lowest priced, responsive bidder determined to be responsible in accordance with FAR Part 14 Procedures, as a set aside for small business procurement.  The closing is projected to be conducted on or about July 7, 2020 at 1:00 pm EST; however, this information is subject to change.
