Livonia Avon & Lakeville Railroad Transload Earthwork Project

The Livonia Avon & Lakeville Railroad Transload Earthwork Project is a comprehensive site development contract issued by Jefferson County, New York, focusing on constructing a new rail transload terminal on a previously vacant agricultural parcel. The project requires a contractor to perform extensive site preparation and infrastructure work, including clearing, grubbing, earthwork, drainage installation, erosion and sediment control implementation, stormwater management, and access driveway improvements. Contractors must supply all necessary materials and complete the preparatory work for future track placement, specifically involving sub ballast and ballast base course installation. The solicitation was posted on September 8, 2025, with proposals due on September 15, 2025, at 1:00 PM, and the contract will remain active until project completion. The project is located at 5769 Sweeteners Boulevard in Lakeville, NY, and is open to contractors capable of executing comprehensive site development and railroad infrastructure preparation work.

The contract includes specific subcontracting goals targeting minority-owned (10%), women-owned (15%), and service-disabled veteran-owned (6%) businesses, though there is no specific service-disabled veteran-owned business set-aside for the primary contract. No incumbent vendors have been identified as having been awarded similar contracts within the past five years. The procurement appears to be open to all qualifying businesses across New York State counties, with no explicit restrictions on company size or specific prior experience beyond the capability to perform the described earthwork and infrastructure preparation. While no specific budget range was provided in the solicitation, the comprehensive nature of the site preparation work suggests a potentially significant contract value. Interested contractors should carefully review the full solicitation documents to understand the complete scope of work, technical specifications, and submission requirements for this railroad transload terminal project.
