RFQ Pavement Repair

The United States Department of Agriculture is soliciting quotations for complete pavement replacement at the Memphis Cotton Classing Facility in Memphis, Tennessee, under a Total Small Business Set-Aside (NAICS 237310, Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with quotations due May 15, 2026 at noon Central Time and a mandatory site visit on April 29, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.

The paved area requires full replacement due to severe degradation from poor drainage and water intrusion to the subbase since original installation in 1995. Work will be completed in three phases, and contractors must submit separate pricing for each phase. The facility is located at 3275 Appling Road, Memphis, Tennessee.

The estimated project magnitude ranges from $500,000 to $1 million. Award will be made on a firm-fixed price basis to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quoter with acceptable past performance. Evaluation prioritizes price reasonableness and technical acceptability based on relevant experience with similar road, parking lot, and paving projects. Federal construction wage rates for Shelby County apply, along with FAR and AGAR clauses governing labor standards, Buy American requirements, and anti-discrimination compliance. Progress payments may be requested monthly with retainage not to exceed 10 percent.

Small business size standard is $45 million. Questions must be submitted by May 12, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Central Time. Quotations should be directed to james.g.roloff@usda.gov. Contract performance is anticipated to commence after award.
