Site work, paving and renovation of a bridge / tunnel in Farmington, New Mexico. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a bridge / tunnel; for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

Per the bridge inspection last year, the bridge needed some extensive repairs. In FY2019, the City completed Phase I of the repairs, replaced all the joints, removed the center median, and repaired other items above the deck at a cost of $400,000, thereby stopping the damage to the bottom of the bridge. Phase II includes repairing the bridge piers and pier caps, painting the steel girders, mitigating some erosion at an abutment, and resurfacing the bridge deck with an estimated cost of $400,000.

The solicitation will include adherence to the NM Public Works Wage Decision and/or Federal Davis-Bacon Wage Act, if applicable. OSHA requirements will be complied with during the construction process. Purchasing will conduct labor interviews if required in addition to negotiating any construction delays or change orders. Payment is initially reviewed by the using department then confirmed by Purchasing. Finance provides an oversight responsibility to ensure costs are maintained within budget constraints.
