Reconstruction of Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue, NE from Minnesota Avenue to Eastern Avenue, NE (ARRA Project)

The District of Columbia has issued a state and local contract opportunity for the reconstruction of Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue, NE, spanning from Minnesota Avenue to Eastern Avenue. This infrastructure project involves comprehensive roadway reconstruction, with specific focus on complete removal of existing sidewalks and targeted curb and gutter replacement. The procurement appears to be a public works infrastructure project with an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) designation. Key project deliverables include total removal of current sidewalk infrastructure and strategic reuse of existing granite curbs, as precisely outlined in project drawings. The contract was originally posted on August 19, 2010, with an unusual due date listed as December 30, 1899, which suggests potential data entry error in the original posting. The project requires detailed civil engineering and construction capabilities, with contractors expected to demonstrate expertise in municipal infrastructure reconstruction and precise adherence to municipal engineering specifications.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, municipal infrastructure projects like this typically involve compliance with local disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) participation requirements. The District of Columbia jurisdiction (FIPS Code 11001) will likely have standard procurement regulations regarding small business and minority-owned business participation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the original contract opportunity description. The project appears to be a public infrastructure improvement initiative, though no specific budget range or total project value is provided in the available information. Potential bidders would need to demonstrate significant civil engineering capabilities, experience with urban roadway reconstruction, and ability to work within municipal infrastructure development standards. Contractors should be prepared to provide comprehensive project plans that detail approach to sidewalk and curb removal, potential granite curb preservation, and overall reconstruction methodology.
