Please use Subject "DTFH71-16-R-00006 - Sources Sought" PROJECT DETAILS: NP_BLRI_PVT_PRES_FY 16, Blue Ridge Parkway Pavement Preservation. The Blue Ridge Parkway stretches 469 miles connecting Great Smoky Mountains National Park with the Shenandoah National Park. The project is located along Bedford, Rockbridge, Botetourt, Flankin, Floyd, Roanoke and Patrick counties in VA. The project is 91 miles and it extends north of James River Visitor Center (MP 64.5) to south of Rocky Knob Visitor Center (MP 174.6). The work consists of preventive maintenance surface treatment to preserve and maintain Blue Ridge Parkway mainline and adjacent pull-offs. The pavement treatment will consist of one of the following methods: 1) chip seal with fog seal; 2) microsurfacing; 3) ¾" thin asphalt concrete pavement overlay. - Chip seal treatment will consists of an application of asphalt binder with a layer of aggregate chips. In addition to this application, fog seal will be required to hold chips in place and prevent flying chips to damage vehicles. - Microsurfacing treatment will consists of a mix of crushed aggregates, mineral fillers and polymer-modified emulsified asphalt applied with a squeegee or spreader box. - The ¾" thin overlay will consists of 4.75mm nominal maximum size aggregate, with < 0.3 Million ESAL. The existing Parkway consists of a 20' to 22' wide two-lane roadway with no changes in grade or typical sections. The work will also include permanent pavement markings, type L (polyurea) at the centerline and single white permanent pavement markings adjacent to the pull-off areas. A single lane closure with flagger will be used during construction. Official Solicitation will likely be issued October of 2016. Although the exact period of performance has not been determined, the project will begin in Spring 2017 with completion in the Summer/Fall 2017.
