The contract, identified as M43_2025, focuses on ramps and bridge deck/superstructure repairs involving multiple critical infrastructure components. Specific work elements include structural steel repair (8,140 lbs), hydro-demolition (1,619 square yards), bridge deck grooving, crack repairs, concrete patching, jacking and blocking of beams, waterproofing, bearing replacements, and expansion joint reconstruction. The project requires detailed technical expertise in bridge rehabilitation and infrastructure maintenance, with bidders expected to demonstrate sophisticated engineering capabilities. Proposal submissions are due by 10:00 AM on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, with a total project completion date set for October 2, 2026.

The procurement opportunity includes a 5% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, indicating a commitment to supporting minority and small business engagement in the infrastructure project. The contract is subject to Davis-Bacon wage rate requirements for Petersburg and Dinwiddie Counties, which mandates specific labor compensation standards. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, the project includes provisions for fuel and asphalt adjustments on eligible contract items, suggesting potential cost flexibility. The procurement allows for competitive bidding among qualified contractors with demonstrated capabilities in complex bridge repair and reconstruction projects. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the work—involving structural steel repairs, concrete overlay, hydro-demolition, and multiple specialized infrastructure interventions—suggests a substantial investment in regional transportation infrastructure maintenance and improvement.
