Lakeside Community Trail Phase 1

Henrico County Department of Public Works is requesting sealed bids on Lakeside Community Trail Phase 1, a federally funded shared-use-path project under ITB No. 26-2971-5JL, with bids due July 30, 2026 at 2:00 PM through the County's ProcureWare portal. The project is administered through the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), triggering Buy America Act compliance and FHWA Form 1273 provisions as decision-relevant constraints.

The scope encompasses approximately 3,500 linear feet of shared-use-path alongside the west bank of Upham Brook from Spring Park (adjacent to Park Street) north to Gillespie Avenue, including a pedestrian crosswalk at the Gillespie Avenue and Dumbarton Road intersection. Work includes drainage design, pavement marking, signing, mobilization, construction surveying, temporary signage, asphalt concrete placement, concrete pipe installation, erosion control, seeding and landscaping, guardrail installation, and pavement markings. Bidders must be prequalified with VDOT and hold a Virginia Class A contractor's license prior to award.

Contract completion is required within 365 calendar days after Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $350 per day assessed in the $0–$500,000 price range. The Board of Supervisors will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with authority vested at the Board level given the anticipated contract value exceeds $200,000. Bids require 5 percent bid security (certified check, cashier's check, or bid bond). Upon award, the contractor must provide 100 percent performance and 100 percent labor and material payment bonds. Unit prices are submitted on an F.O.B. destination basis; the County retains 5 percent of each payment request until final completion. Change-order pricing is sourced from Means Open Shop Building Construction Cost Data for Richmond, Virginia, adjusted as applicable. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements, DBE utilization standards, and applicable federal, state, and local safety, environmental, nondiscrimination, and drug-free workplace regulations. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 9, 2026 at 3:00 PM virtually.
