Ely Puckett Office Drive Culvert Replacement

The Commonwealth of Virginia, specifically Lee County, is seeking a contractor for the Ely Puckett Office Drive Culvert Replacement Project, a critical infrastructure improvement initiative scheduled for procurement between October 30, 2025, and December 3, 2025. The primary scope of work involves replacing two existing reinforced concrete pipes with a single 10-foot by 4-foot box culvert and installing approximately 1.5 feet of flowable fill in a 60-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). Contractors will be responsible for removing existing structures, transporting them to a designated disposal area, and raising the existing road by approximately 1 foot. The project's key objective is to enhance water flow and drainage capabilities through minor grading that facilitates more efficient water movement across the crossings. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, contractors will likely need to demonstrate technical expertise in culvert replacement, road elevation, and infrastructure modification. The proposal submission deadline is firmly set for December 3, 2025, with the expectation that selected contractors can complete the infrastructure improvements efficiently and effectively.

No specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were explicitly mentioned in the contract opportunity description. The procurement appears to be open to qualified contractors with relevant infrastructure and civil engineering capabilities. While no incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified, the project suggests a straightforward infrastructure replacement initiative with standard municipal engineering requirements. The potential award value is not specified, though the scope of work implies a moderate-scale infrastructure project typical of county-level improvements. Contractors interested in this opportunity should possess comprehensive experience in culvert replacement, road elevation, and municipal infrastructure modification, with a particular focus on drainage and water flow management techniques. Prospective bidders would benefit from having demonstrated capabilities in similar rural infrastructure projects, especially those involving precise engineering modifications in challenging terrain.
