The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is seeking bids for a highway construction project (Contract ID No. CM825PMJ125544, Order No. 870) involving plant mix resurfacing work across Clarke, Page, and Shenandoah counties in the Staunton district. The procurement involves comprehensive road maintenance and improvement services, including approximately 6,152 tons of SM-9.5A mix and 6,714 tons of SM-12.5A mix. Specific project deliverables include asphalt concrete paving, tack coat application, pavement planing, shoulder renovation, temporary and permanent pavement markings, and maintenance of traffic. The project is federally funded (FHWA No. PM08(469)) and requires prequalification for contractors. Bids are due by 10:00 AM on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, with a contract completion date set for November 21, 2025. All questions must be submitted through VDOT's Contractors Advertisement Bulletin Board (CABB), and bidders must carefully review all specification documents.

The contract includes provisions for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation, though no specific goal percentage was explicitly stated in the documents. Davis-Bacon wage requirements are in effect for the counties involved, and the contract includes provisions for potential asphalt material and fuel price adjustments. Contractors should be prepared for potential budgetary constraints that may affect the final quantity of work, with routes potentially being added or deleted based on available funding. The procurement allows for both regular bid items and alternate bid items for shoulder maintenance material. While no specific award value was provided, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Interested contractors must demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and compliance with federal and state transportation construction regulations to be considered for this multi-county road improvement project.
