Asphalt Sidewalk Replacements

Belknap County, New Hampshire, is seeking qualified vendors for a comprehensive asphalt sidewalk replacement project through Request for Bid (RFB) No. 2025-03FM. The procurement involves replacing deteriorating sidewalks at three county facilities: the Belknap County Superior Court, Sheriff's Office, and County Administration Office. The project requires contractors to perform multiple technical tasks, including saw cutting existing pavement, excavating and removing failed surfaces, fine grading, incorporating crushed bank run gravel, and installing new virgin asphalt with a minimum 2" compacted finish. Mandatory site visitation can be scheduled by calling 603-737-2391, with proposals due by 12:00 pm on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. Contractors must submit bids either via email or physical envelope to the Board of Commissioners, with the county reserving the right to accept, reject, or cancel proposals at its discretion. The bid specifications emphasize proper compaction, drainage, and restoration of sidewalk and entrance areas that currently exhibit significant wear, cracking, and structural deterioration.

The solicitation does not explicitly detail specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the provided documentation. While specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the available materials, the project appears to be a targeted infrastructure improvement initiative for county facilities.
