Work is performed on primary and secondary routes in Russell and Tazewell Counties, where prevailing wage rates range from $11.45 to $26.68 per hour depending on classification. The solicitation's jurisdiction field lists Stafford County (FIPS 51179), which conflicts with the Russell and Tazewell County scope in the description. The project is subject to budgetary constraints that may affect the final quantity of work and may require route deletions at VDOT's discretion based on predetermined priorities.
