The Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is procuring an on-call bridge repair and preventative maintenance contract for district-wide locations throughout the Staunton district, with work encompassing Highland, Page, Clarke, Harrisonburg, and Rockingham Counties, including Greene County. This procurement requires contractor prequalification and involves over 120 line items of specialized bridge repair and maintenance services, including concrete stabilization, asphalt concrete placement, bridge deck grooming, reinforcing steel installation, aluminum railing systems, concrete repair and patching, expansion joint work, bearing replacement, waterproofing, milling operations, pavement marking, and traffic control services. The contract is federally funded through the Highway Administration under project numbers BR8O-968-799, B692, and N501, and bidders must submit proposals electronically through Bidx on or before June 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM, with a contract completion date of July 10, 2027. Qualified contractors must provide bid bonds at five percent of the total bid value, complete subcontractor and supplier solicitation forms documenting all contacted firms, comply with prevailing wage requirements varying by county and classification (ranging from approximately $11.82 to $36.85 per hour), and execute performance bonds upon contract award. All questions must be submitted to VDOT using the Contractors Advertisement Bulletin Board (CABB), and bidders are required to provide pricing on all items while ensuring strict compliance with all proposal provisions and federal Davis-Bacon Act requirements.

The contract incorporates special provisions addressing prevailing wage determinations, fuel and steel price adjustments, asphalt material price adjustments, traffic control requirements, environmental protections for bat species and nesting birds, and railroad right-of-way restrictions. Specific bid award values and budget ranges are not disclosed in the procurement documents, though the contract encompasses substantial bridge infrastructure work across multiple counties with completion scheduled for July 10, 2027. The procurement does not identify incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration; however, contractors must demonstrate compliance with federal Highway Administration standards and VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications. The contract requires principal contractors to execute within a specified timeframe following award notice and furnish all required performance and surety bonds in accordance with VDOT standards. Environmental protections, portable changeable message sign security requirements, and Davis-Bacon Act compliance represent key contractual obligations for selected contractors performing work across the designated service area.
