The road begins at the intersection with Highway 203 at the Minaret Vista Entrance Station, continues along the side of the mountain and descends 2.5 miles into the valley, and then traverses the valley floor for 5.8 miles. The figure below provides a visual summary of the project location. The upper 2.5 miles of the road are a single lane with turnouts and it is experiencing pavement and fill slope failures in several locations. This portion of the project, Schedule A, will be reconstructed (4R) to include a widened bench to accommodate two lanes of traffic. The lower 5.8 miles of the road, Option X, currently supports two lane traffic and will be rehabilitated (3R). SCOPE OF THE WORK: The project consists of reconstructing and widening the upper 2.5 miles of road to a two-lane road. Widening will be accomplished in this section through the cut slopes, fill slopes, soil nail walls, reinforced soil slopes, and rock cuts. Guardrail will be constructed in select locations. The lower 5.8 miles of road will be rehabilitated through pulverization and repaving with a few areas of superelevation correction, the reconstruction of the entrance to the Devil's Postpile National Monument, and the excavation and or clearing of a few embankments to improve sight distance. The project involves a variety of work including excavation, rock excavation, soil nail walls, reinforced soil slopes, pipe culverts, guardrail, ditch reconditioning, drainage repairs, riprap, asphalt paving, full depth reclamation (pulverize and pave), erosion control, and revegetation. Items worth noting: Being the only access road to several recreation sites, Reds Meadow Road receives significant traffic during the summer months. Full closures during the daytime will not be allowed for the majority of the construction season. Maintenance of public traffic will be an important construction consideration. Daytime delays will be a maximum of 30 minutes. The project elevation is between 8,000 and 9,000 feet. The construction season will generally be May to October but will depend on weather. The project is in very steep, mountainous terrain, with a very narrow bench in the upper 2.5 mile portion of the project. Widening through the construction of soil nail walls, rock cuts, and reinforce soil fill slopes, will be difficult in this terrain. 14 soil nail walls with max heights ranging from 6 to 12 feet are proposed. Soil nails will be installed in hard rock that includes fractured areas, boulders, and zones of talus. A sculpted and colored concrete facing to blend with the surrounding geology will be required on the soil nail walls. Some rock excavation may require blasting.

POST AWARD INFORMATION CFLHD will no longer be providing paper copies of the conformed contract to the Awarded Prime Contractor. Subcontracting - FAR Clause 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns states that Prime Contractors afford small business concerns, veteran-owned small business concerns, service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns, HUBZone small business concerns, small disadvantaged business concerns, and women-owned small business concerns the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in performing contracts let by any Federal agency. FAR Clause 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, Alternate I, requires that the large business concern who is the successful low bidder on a Federal project with an anticipated award amount exceeding $1.5 million, is required to submit a subcontracting plan prior to contract award. The subcontracting plan expresses goals in terms of percentages of total planned subcontracting dollars for the use of small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns as subcontractors. If the apparent successful low bidder fails to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan acceptable to the CO within 7 days of request of the CO, that bidder may be ineligible for award of the contract. Prime Contractors, who are large businesses, are encouraged to post sources sought notices at the Small Business Administration's Subcontracting Network (SUB-NET) so that small businesses can identify opportunities in their areas of expertise. The use of SUB-Net NOTICE TO BIDDERS A-iv fulfills the requirements set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.206, Notice of Subcontracting Opportunities, for contractors and subcontractors to post notices and thereby increase competition for subcontracts.
