The Army Corps of Engineers – Seattle District is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support the requirement for Albeni Falls Dam Priest River Recreational Area Paving Project. Within the Priest River Recreation Area, there are several sections of road that have failed significantly with damages including: alligatoring, slumping, longitudinal and transverse cracking, and root damage. Due to the fact that over 30% of the entire road surface has failed and the rest meets minimal standards, we will be replacing the entire road structure. The total square footage of currently paved surfaces that need to be removed and replaced in the Priest River Recreation Area equals ~107,000 sq ft. All construction will meet Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD) specifications.

The Priest River Recreation Area will require the contractor to: (1) Remove the old road, base and obstructions beneath, such as roots, which are currently damaged (specified in Figure 1 below); (2) Rebuild the grade and slope the road appropriately and prepare the subbase according to ITD standards; (3) Apply bituminous material for the tack coat; (5) Apply bituminous material for the prime coat; (6) In accordance with ITD standards, install new asphalt surface with appropriate butt joints and transitions; (7) Roll and compact the surface thoroughly and uniformly; (8) Conduct the necessary checks to ensure the grade and smoothness requirements are met in accordance with ITD.
