Site work and paving for a sidewalk / parking lot in Helena, Montana. Completed plans call for site work for a one-story above grade sidewalk / parking lot.

The project consists of constructing 51 double ramp ADA corners, 37 single ramps, 2 sidewalk panels with truncated domes, 3 alley drive approaches with truncated domes on each side, and 2 valley gutters. Bidders must state the name and number of the project, address bids to the Clerk of Commission at the specified address, and ensure that sealed bids are received by the deadline. Each bidder must agree to enter into a formal contract within 14 days if awarded, and provide an approved performance bond as well as a labor and materials payment bond. Each bid must include bid security payable to the City of Helena for ten percent of the total amount of the bid, in a form compliant with 18-1-203, MCA. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, waive informalities, postpone the award for up to sixty days, and accept the lowest responsive and responsible bid. All inquiries, questions, or requests for interpretation, correction, or clarification must be submitted in writing to the city contact Darren Ramos, Senior Engineering Technician Transportation Systems Department 3001 E. Lyndale Avenue 406-304-1873 dramos@helenamt.gov The scope of work for the project includes: 1. Construct new ADA ramps, drive approaches, valley gutters, and sidewalk panels at locations outlined in Exhibit "3G." 2. New corners will be constructed to accommodate best pedestrian access routes (PAR). The corners will not be built to the existing road necessarily, considering the road can be reshaped during the mill & overlay process. 3. Onsite engineering will require consideration of drainage around the new ADA assets. If a drain is required, it should be packaged into the bid price. 4. Pricing includes the necessary transition panels to existing sidewalk, as well as curb & gutter transitions. 5. All curb & gutter is to be doweled into the gutter it is tying into. 6. All curb & gutter is to be poured against a clean, sawcut edge of asphalt, even if there is a grade difference between the two surfaces. If the asphalt is in poor condition, a field decision will be made whether to use a form board. 7. All new curbs shall be painted with "Ennis yellow." 8. Contractor will have concrete sampled and tested by a materials testing lab once every 30 days to ensure conformance to material spec. 9. All work shall be done in accordance with City of Helena Engineering Standards, Montana Public Works Standard Specifications (MPWSS) and comply with PROWAG guidelines. 10. The Contractor is responsible for furnishing, installing, maintaining, relocating, and removing traffic control devices for regulating, warning, or directing vehicle or pedestrian traffic during construction. A typical Traffic Control Plan must be submitted with the executed contract. All traffic/pedestrian controls shall be placed in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Standards. Traffic control is incidental to the repair/replacement work; no other compensation will be allowed. 11. Wherever tree roots are encountered under or directly adjacent to the sidewalk, the City Arborist must be consulted and decide if the roots can be cut and removed. If removal is required, the cost for such work shall be considered incidental to the sidewalk installation; no other compensation will be allowed.
