N-1, US-34 - Murdock - Grading, Bridge & Structures - Cass County

The Nebraska Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for grading, bridge, and structures work on US-34 near Murdock, with bids due October 29, 2026. The project involves construction of two bridge structures (S001 00266 and S001 00479) in the 2027 construction season, with both bridges required to open to two-lane, two-way traffic and new guardrail installed by December 1, 2027.

The contractor must install new guardrail prior to shifting traffic between construction phases or as directed by the Engineer. Existing guardrail on the traffic side shall remain in place during Phase 1 construction until Phase 2 begins. If existing guardrail at stations 410+58 to 416+33 (left and right) is removed in 2027, the contractor must install surfacing under guardrail and new guardrail by December 1, 2027, with the restriction that milled surfaces cannot remain exposed over the winter period.

The work is located in Cedar County (note: the jurisdiction listing shows Cedar County, though the description references Cass County). The bid notice does not disclose estimated contract value, contract term, set-asides, preference programs, evaluation criteria, or timeline details beyond the October 29 proposal deadline and December 1, 2027 completion requirement. Prospective bidders should obtain the complete bid package for pricing terms, bonding and insurance requirements, and funding source information.
