___________________________________ Questions concerning this solicitation may be directed to Shirley Anderson at EFLHD.contracts@dot.gov The 18-mile Mount Vernon Trail (MVT) is a paved, multi-use trail corridor stretching from George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate to Theodore Roosevelt Island, linking Fairfax County and the City of Alexandria, to Arlington County and major Potomac River bridge crossings into the District of Columbia. The MVT is a popular recreation resource and a critical regional transportation connection. The trail hosts over one million pedestrians and bicyclists annually. During peak periods, the MVT north of Alexandria is one of the most heavily used multi-use trails in the country. The National Park Service (NPS) originally constructed the MVT in the 1970s and 1980s. The trail is relatively narrow by modern standards and characterized by meandering curves, timber bridges, and in some areas, dense vegetation. The trail is a critical regional transportation connection and recreational amenity set within the cultural landscape of the planned design of the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway and the George Washington Memorial Parkway (MVMH/GWMP). This project may affect the character of the landscape which is a contributing feature to the National Register of Historic Places significance of the MVMH/GWMP. Many of the built facilities along the MVT need immediate attention. The bridges, trail tread (condition and width), trail alignment, drainage, signage, and trailhead features (i.e. benches, drinking fountains, bike racks, etc.) are all in need of varying levels of rehabilitation due to their age and deferred maintenance. This project is intended to address deferred maintenance, accommodate changes in use, improve accessibility, functionality, longevity, and safety of the trail along the northern section of the MVT. The approximate limits of construction are from the City of Alexandria (Milepost 11.0) to the northern terminus at Theodore Roosevelt Island (Milepost 17.5). The project is located in Arlington County and the City of Alexandria, Virginia and the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C. The design and construction cost for this base contract and all options is estimated to be between $35,000,000 to $45,000,000 *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
