Fountainhead Stormwater Management Improvements

The Town of Fountainhead (Rockingham County, Virginia) is requesting sealed bids for the construction of the Fountainhead Stormwater Management Improvements project, with bids due October 30, 2026.

The scope encompasses approximately 8.5 acres of stormwater management improvements across multiple phases, including site preparation, installation of stormwater detention basins, construction of bioretention areas, installation of permeable pavement systems, and related grading and erosion control measures. The contractor must obtain all necessary permits and approvals prior to construction commencement. All work must comply with Virginia Department of Environmental Quality stormwater regulations and local erosion and sediment control ordinances. The contractor is responsible for maintaining performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract amount.

Pricing shall be submitted on a lump-sum basis for the complete project with unit prices for any change order work. The contract term is expected to span approximately 18 months from notice to proceed through final project completion and closeout. The project is funded through the Town's Capital Improvement Plan and state water quality grant funds. Upon substantial completion and final acceptance, incumbent operations and maintenance of completed stormwater facilities will transfer to the Town's Public Works Department.

A pre-bid site visit is scheduled to allow contractors to assess existing conditions and site constraints. Award is anticipated following bid evaluation and Town approval.
