Machicomco State Park Paving

The Commonwealth of Virginia's Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is seeking a qualified contractor to install an asphalt pavement walking path at Machicomoco State Park in Hayes, Virginia, through a Quick Quote (QQ-87466) procurement process. The project involves constructing a walking path approximately 355 feet long by 8 feet wide, which requires surface preparation, base stone installation, and 2.5 inches of SM-9.5A asphalt. The successful contractor must provide all necessary labor, materials, tools, equipment, insurance, and supervision to complete the paving project. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit was conducted on February 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the park's Visitor Center, with bid questions due by February 21, 2025. Bids are due on February 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with a requirement that work begin within 7 calendar days of purchase order receipt and be completed within 90 calendar days. The project requires a minimum Class B contractor license, and all bids must be submitted electronically through the eVA procurement system, with email, fax, or mailed submissions explicitly prohibited.

The procurement opportunity is designated as a Small Business Priority Set Aside, with specific restrictions on vendor eligibility based on Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (DSBSD) certification. If the bid is under $10,000, the award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder that is a DSBSD-certified micro business; for bids under $100,000, the award will go to a DSBSD-certified small business, provided the price is deemed fair and reasonable. Vendors must be registered in the eVA procurement system and will be subject to a transaction fee of 1% (capped at $500 for certified small businesses and $1,500 for other businesses). While no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the project appears to be a relatively small infrastructure improvement initiative. The procurement documents include standard terms and conditions that outline insurance requirements, payment terms, and other standard contractual provisions for state procurement. No information about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requiring integration was disclosed in the provided documentation.
