- Description
- Synopsis Proposals from all business concerns will be accepted for the Foothills Parkway Design-Build (D-B) Project PRA-FOOT 8E14, 8E16, 8E18, 8E19, 8E20, and 8E22, Solicitation Number DTFH71-10-R-00006, located in Blount County, Tennessee, northeast of the city of Townsend near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM). This D-B project consists of the design and construction of new roads and five new bridges. The construction work will include clearing, erosion and sediment control measures, site stabilization and revegetation, roadway excavation and embankment, aggregate base, hot asphalt concrete pavement (HACP), retaining walls, soil nailing, drainage improvements, stone masonry, and other miscellaneous work. The proposed project limits are within existing National Park Service (NPS) right-of-way. The roadway work will include full-depth pavement structure design but will not include placement of the final surface course. The pavement structure constructed under this D-B contract must be capable of supporting future construction traffic. The design/construction of the asphalt base course may include a chip seal. Roadway sections are to be designed for the future installation of permanent traffic control and guardrail; however there is no permanent traffic control or guardrail to be constructed under this D-B contract. Bridge approaches will be constructed to final profile and may include both cut and fill retaining walls. All new retaining walls, bridges, piers, abutments, etc., will be required to continue the aesthetic look of other similar structures along the Foothills Parkway. The project will be split into multiple work schedules/bid options, with the cost of the entire D-B contract expected to exceed $20,000,000. This project will be partially funded through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009. Contract Award is subject to the availability of funding (SAF). In accordance with Public Law 104-106 (41 U.S.C. 253m), the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) of the Federal Highway Administration is conducting a "two phased" D-B selection process for the National Park Service. Solicitation documents for Phase One, Request for Qualifications (RFQ), should be issued in February 2010. Qualifications will be due as specified on the SF 1442 to the EFLHD office in Sterling, Virginia. A selection committee will review and evaluate contractor qualifications and select at least three of the most highly qualified D-B firms/teams based on the established RFQ evaluation criteria to participate in Phase Two of this D-B selection process. During Phase Two, those firms/teams short-listed will be sent a Request for Proposal (RFP), which will outline the remainder of the process requirements. Please send all questions concerning construction projects to eflhd.contracts@dot.gov. Include the solicitation number, project name and number, requesting firm and address, a point of contact and telephone number. Requests for 'faxing' or overnight mailing will not be accepted.
