Repave Willow Beach Road

The National Park Service is considering a contract to Repave Willow Beach Road in Lake Mead National Recreation Area near Boulder City, Nevada.

Willow Beach road is the only road into the Willow Beach developed area containing a marina, boat ramp, campground, and fish hatchery.

The proposed scope of work is to pulverize the 20-21 feet wide existing pavement (full depth reclamation), stabilize with base aggregate material, grade and pave with asphalt to a proposed asphalt width of 22 feet. The roadway shall stay in the existing alignment with no change for alignment or profile. Grade the shoulders to match the new pavement edge. Paint stripe the road to match the existing pattern. Roadway shall stay open to the public during construction. Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining traffic control and all needed devices during construction. The proposed length of the project is 3.7 miles long. Located in Willow Beach, Arizona off Arizona 95 located between Boulder City, Nevada and Kingman, Arizona.

Sources sought responses shall indicate experience directly related to pulverizing and paving of an existing asphalt road.
