2026-IFB-3121620 Hickory Street Bridge

The solicitation issued by Albemarle County, Virginia, invites sealed bids for the construction of the Hickory Street Bridge at Biscuit Run Park. The project encompasses developing an approximately 800-foot-long, 10-foot-wide paved trail that includes a 3-span prefabricated bridge crossing Biscuit Run, totaling about 220 feet in span length. In addition to the trail and bridge, the contract calls for the construction of 53 paved parking spaces along the Hickory Street shoulder, with an optional bid alternate to add 22 more spaces. This infrastructure initiative aims to enhance recreational access and parking capacity in the park. Bidders are required to register with Albemarle County prior to award, and all updates or addenda will be posted on the county’s procurement website. The solicitation was posted on December 12, 2025, with a submission deadline of December 30, 2025. While the solicitation outlines project scope and key deliverables—comprising trail completion, bridge installation, and parking construction—it lacks detailed pricing, line-item costs, or evaluation criteria. No specific contract clauses, technical standards, inspection protocols, or performance schedules are disclosed within the available documentation, which suggests that such details may reside in supplemental or full solicitation materials accessible via the county’s procurement portal. The contracting process follows standard sealed bid procurement without designated socioeconomic set-asides. Likewise, no contract administration data, invoicing methods, or contract types (e.g., fixed-price) are explicitly stated. Overall, the procurement seeks qualified contractors capable of delivering a prefabricated bridge and trail infrastructure improvements with optional parking expansion under Albemarle County’s supervision and quality acceptance at the project site.
