 A Market Survey is being conducted to gain knowledge of potential qualified Small Business firms, HUBZone, 8(a), Women-Owned, or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business contractors or for any information pertinent to this industry as part of our ongoing Market Research for the following proposed contract:

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.  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.

The contract duration for construction is anticipated at approximately 90 calendar days and the magnitude of this construction project will be between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.
