Project completion is November 30, 2027.

The DBE goal is 0 percent. Contractors must comply with Federal-Aid Highway program requirements under Title 23 of the United States Code, Davis-Bacon Act minimum wage requirements, the Work Hours and Safety Act of 1962, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and equal employment opportunity requirements.

A bid bond equal to 5 percent of the approximate bid amount must be submitted through the BidX electronic system using an approved surety. Hardcopy plans and proposals are available from Engineering Publications at $15 for plans and $2 per sheet for proposals. Irregular electronic bids may be rejected for incomplete pricing schedules, improper DBE folder submissions, missing acknowledgment boxes, or improperly executed bid bonds.
