Reconstruction of Pennsylvania Avenue, SE to Southern Avenue, SE

The District of Columbia has issued a state and local contract opportunity for the reconstruction of Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, specifically targeting a segment from 200 feet west of 27th Street to Southern Avenue. The project involves comprehensive roadway reconstruction within existing right-of-way, including complete removal of the current roadway, strategic undercutting and backfilling to address unstable roadbed soils, and removal of existing curbs. Contractors responding to this opportunity will be responsible for executing precise road infrastructure rehabilitation work that meets municipal engineering standards. The contract was originally posted on May 4, 2009, with an anomalous due date of December 30, 1899, which likely represents a data entry error. The procurement appears to be a public works infrastructure project requiring specialized civil engineering and road construction capabilities. Potential bidders should anticipate detailed technical specifications and precise construction methodologies being required for successful proposal submission.

While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions are explicitly outlined in the provided documentation, contractors pursuing this opportunity should expect standard municipal procurement requirements typical of District of Columbia public works projects. The contract likely involves adherence to local prevailing wage regulations, required licensing for municipal construction work, and potential small business or local contractor preferences. Given the infrastructure nature of the project, prime contractors with demonstrated experience in urban road reconstruction, soil stabilization, and municipal right-of-way restoration would be most competitive. Though no specific budget range is provided, road reconstruction projects of this scale typically represent significant municipal investments potentially ranging from several hundred thousand to multiple million dollars. Prospective bidders should be prepared to demonstrate robust safety protocols, environmental compliance capabilities, and proven track records of successful urban infrastructure rehabilitation projects.
