The City of Huntington is soliciting bids from West Virginia licensed contractors for a slip repair project located on 5th Avenue in the Guyandotte neighborhood of Cabell County. The scope of work involves addressing a landslide through site preparation, including the clearing of vegetation and existing pavement, and the implementation of earthwork to buttress the failed area. Technical specifications require adherence to WVDOH 2017/2022 standards, specifically Section 27 for fill placement and compaction, and compliance with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection Best Management Practices Manual and NPDES permit requirements for erosion control and revegetation. The solicitation requires the submission of bid, performance, and payment bonds, with the latter two due within ten calendar days of the notice to proceed. Contractors must also comply with City of Huntington administrative requirements, including obtaining a general business license and addressing Business and Occupation tax obligations. The project includes specific deliverables such as standard milling, agricultural limestone application, and the placement of seed and mulch. Final acceptance by the city is contingent upon satisfactory completion of the work and a site inspection, which will subsequently trigger the release of a ten percent retainage.
