The Virginia Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for a Cape Seal secondary-routes surface treatment project across the Fredericksburg District, with bids due October 28, 2026 and project completion by October 17, 2027. Prequalification is required. This is federal-aid funded work under FHWA number PM06419 and is subject to prevailing wage requirements, Davis-Bacon Act provisions, and equal employment opportunity compliance.

The scope encompasses furnishing and applying asphalt surface treatments followed by emulsified asphalt slurry seal to existing roadway surfaces across multiple routes.

Work within one mile of schools during daytime operating hours is prohibited.

Prevailing wage rates vary by county; flagger rates range from $11.99 to $13.64 per hour depending on location. A bid bond equal to five percent of the bid value is required.
