Site work and paving for a sidewalk / parking lot in Athens, Georgia. Working plans call for site work for a sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

The University of Georgia will select several qualified firms from the response submittals, conduct a mandatory pre-proposal site visit with the finalists, conduct interviews, rank the finalists, and begin contract discussions with the selected firm. A project description is provided below: The proposed College Station Park and Ride Expansion, Phase VI will be used to fill the continued demand for additional low-cost parking for faculty, staff, and students commuting to campus. The lot will provide convenient access to campus via UGA and Athens-Clarke County buses. It will also directly connect to the Athens-Clarke County North Oconee Greenway network, offering pedestrian and bicycle connections to campus and beyond. Project Budget- $4,410,000.00 Question Deadline 01/29/2025 at 2:00 PM ET Questions shall be submitted in writing (e-mail is preferable) to: Emily Salvia Strategic Sourcing Specialist Procurement Office University of Georgia 424 E. Broad Street Athens, Georgia 30602 email: emily.riley@uga.edu The proposed UGA Phase 6 Expansion of the Park & Ride Parking Lot will be located just north of the existing park & ride lot located at 125 North Oconee Access Road. The project will add approximately 640 parking spaces with a pedestrian sidewalk linking the lot to the existing UGA bus loading area that lies at the northwest corner of the existing park & ride lot. The property lies along the eastern bank of the Oconee River and the requisite undisturbed state waters buffers will be honored and exceeded. The existing Athens-Clarke County Greenway Trail runs between the river and the proposed project. There will be a minimum width of 100 feet of undisturbed wooded area between the greenway trail and the project disturbance. The western property line is shared with Athens-Clarke County with their wastewater treatment plant site. The project will be permitted through Athens-Clarke County. It involves approximately 14 acres of land disturbance. Anticipated approximate quantities of earthwork, curbing, paving, storm pipe, fencing, etc. are listed on the Concept Site Plan dated January, 15, 2025 prepared by Breedlove Land Planning, Inc. The intent is to have a balanced cut and fill earthwork site. A Phase 1 Environmental Assessment has been provided by Geo-Hydro Engineers. A geotechnical subsurface report by Geo-Hydro Engineers will be provided. A topographic and utility survey is underway and being performed by Baseline Surveying. Pond 1A on the south end of the project will include approximately 50,000 c.f. of stormwater storage to provide channel protection and detention treatment. The outlet system from Pond 1A will be conveyed via new storm pipe running from east to west along the northern end of the existing parking lot. The storm pipe will discharge into and existing channel east of the existing double culvert that drains beneath the Athens-Clarke County Greenway Trail. Pond 1B will include approximately 108,000 c.f. of stormwater storage to provide channel protection and detention treatment. Pond 1B will also receives significant drainage from the upstream storm pond located on the ACC wastewater treatment site. The outlet system from Pond 1B will discharge into a large existing drainage swale on the north end of the proposed project site. Erosion & Sediment Control and management of stormwater will be paramount for this project and the responsibility for that falls completely on the contractor. This project site lies along the Oconee River and the ACC Greenway Trail with a steady presence of community members utilizing the trail. The project site also has significant topography and potential for erosion if not managed properly. A robust effort to prevent erosion and sedimentation and maintain clean stormwater discharge will be mandatory for this project. All construction shall comply with the 2024 UGA Design & Construction Requirements and Standards. The asphalt paving will be per the detail for "Typical Light Duty Asphalt" in the UGA standards. 1. The scope of the site work will include, but is not limited to the following: o Construction Staking, Engineering, and Layout o Three Phased Erosion, Sedimentation, and Pollution Control o Clearing, Grubbing, and Site Preparation o Site Grading & Earthwork o Asphalt paving, striping, signage and wheel stops o Grassing and landscaping o Storm drainage and Stormwater Management. This will include conveyance, runoff reduction via bio-retention infiltration, channel protection treatment, and detention of peak flows. A combination of bio-retention cells and above ground graded detention ponds will be utilized. BLP, INC. PROJECT NO: 24122
