PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The work consists of the general resurfacing of approximately 18.7 miles of historic towpath (Milepost 72.8 - 86.9 and 118 -122.6) by placing, compacting and grading granular stone. The contractor will be required to furnish all equipment, material, labor and supervision to resurface the towpath, repair minor erosion damage on the towpath shoulders. The towpath can only be accessed in specific locations and therefore, some repairs will be necessary at ingress and egress locations of work areas. The towpath is weight restricted and narrow due to historic structures along the towpath. The contractor shall submit equipment type, size, and weight to the NPS for approval prior to start of construction. For bidding purposes, the project is broken down into a base and an option section as outlined in the specifications.
