Description:

The Willow Beach area is a popular destination for visitors to launch canoes, kayaks, and
boats, as well as picnicking and fishing. Willow Beach is a fee area in the park with an
entrance station at the east end of Willow Beach Road (near US Highway 93). Willow Beach,
located approximately 11 miles downstream of Hoover Dam in the Black Canyon region of the
Colorado River, is one of Lake Mead NRA's most popular destinations and provides visitors
access to a boat ramp, marina, store, restaurant, fish hatchery, fishing pier, campsites,
restaurant, picnic areas, river tours, scenic overlooks, hiking trails, park/concession housing,
and water/wastewater treatment plants. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) also
operates a national fish hatchery in the developed area of the park. With the opening of the
Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge and the construction of the Boulder City Bypass Road, this
developed area will be easily accessed by visitors from Las Vegas, NV, an area with a
population of over 2 million residents and 42 million annual visitors.

Willow Beach Road is a two-lane asphalt surfaced roadway that provides access to Willow
Beach. Willow Beach Road currently extends 4.63 miles from US Highway 93 on the east to
the Willow Beach Marina on the west. The existing roadway is narrow (20- to 21-feet wide)
with soft shoulders. There are no formal paved pullouts. Centerline markings are worn, and
there are no edge markings to delineate the travel lanes. The road surface is cracked and
contains many potholes.

The purpose of this proposed project is to rehabilitate and reconstruct a badly deteriorated
roadway, minimize costs related to past flood damage, and improve safety for the public
traveling on Willow Beach Road located in Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The current
road is at the end of its serviceable life; therefore, this is a suitable time for the National Park
Service to consider options to address ongoing and recurring maintenance issues for the
road. The existing roadway alignment will be repaved along the existing alignment. No revisions to the alignment and design speed will be done.

The project requires construction services of pulverizing the existing asphalt paved road,
re-grading the base material, adding material to establish the road base, paving a 22-footwide
asphalt road, grading the shoulders to match the pavement elevation, providing traffic
control, managing dust control activities and paint striping the road to match the existing
layout. Contractor will provide their own equipment and transportation to and from the construction site.

Project references the latest edition of the US Department of Transportation, Federal
Highway Administration Federal Lands Highway ¿Standard Specifications for Construction of
Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects¿ FP-24.

Estimated Price Range: Between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.

Estimated Period of Performance: 150 calendar days
