Site work and paving for a road / highway in Pineville, Louisiana. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway.

This project consists of Road Network Rehabilitation at the Camp Beauregard Training Site in Pineville. The project shall repair and upgrade existing roads with properly constructed concrete/asphalt roadways. Numerous roads on site are 70-plus years old and degraded to the point of failure. Many of the roadways have been overlaid multiple times, but never fully structurally repaired. Most roadways need to be demolished and road base structure properly re-established to be more durable. This project incorporates approximately 12 miles of asphalt/concrete roadways that range in width from 20 to 24 feet. Designer is responsible for establishing Design standards to meet the normal military and civilian vehicles commonly operating on Camp Beauregard. Louisiana National Guard will provide a list of vehicle types for reference. This is a phased project subject to availability of funding. The Military shall initially contract for Title I, Design services through bidding (approximately 65%), based on an amount for construction of $2,900,000.00. The funds available for phase I construction are approximately $1,475,500.00. Designers Construction Documents shall delineate the phases of construction to allow for at least two bid packages. Estimated construction amount for remainder of phases is $1,424,500.00, making the total anticipated construction amount $2,900,000.00. The Design will include all investigative site surveys: Topographic, geotechnical, survey, drainage, etc. for the complete program. Investigative services may be authorized as an increase to the Designers fee. The Designer shall prepare and submit all required drawings to the Military in AutoCAD and hard copy. Drawings shall follow the format specified in the Instructions to Designers for AutoCAD Drawings Submittal. The available funds for construction (AFC) are approximately $2,900,000.00 with a fee of approximately $144,119.00. Contract Design time is 120 consecutive calendar days including 40 days review time. Thereafter, liquidated damages in the amount of $150.00 per day will be assessed. Further information is available from Colonel (Ret) Michael Deville, michael.p.deville.nfg@army.mil, (318)641-5909. Applicants are advised that design time ends when the Documents are complete, coordinated and ready for bid as stated in to Article 3.3.1 (4) of the Capital Improvements Projects Procedure Manual for Design and Construction. Documents will be considered to be complete, coordinated and ready for bid only if the advertisement for bid can be issued with no further corrections to the Documents. Design time will not necessarily end at the receipt of the initial Construction Documents Phase submittal by Facility Planning and Control. Any re-submittals required to complete the documents will be included in the design time. In addition to the statutory requirements, professional liability insurance covering the work involved will be required in an amount specified in the following schedule. This will be required at the time the Designers contract is signed. Proof of coverage will be required at that time. Applicant firms should be familiar with the above stated requirements prior to application. The firm(s) selected for the project(s) will be required to sign the states standard Contract Between Owner and Designer. When these projects are financed either partially or entirely with Bonds, the award of the contract is contingent upon the sale of bonds or the issuance of a line of credit by the State Bond Commission. The State shall incur no obligation to the Designer until the Contract Between Owner and Designer is fully executed. Firms will be expected to have all the expertise necessary to provide all engineering services required by the Louisiana Capital Improvement Projects Procedure Manual for Design and Construction for the projects for which they are applying. Unless indicated otherwise in the project description, there will be no additional fee for consultants. Facility Planning and Control is a participant in the Small Entrepreneurship Program (the Hudson Initiative) and applicants are encouraged to consider participation.
