Column Repair (Yan Area)

The South Dakota Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for the repair of bridge columns at Structure 34-226-180 over the James River just east of Olivet in Hutchinson County, under solicitation number 018-288. The work involves the breakout of delaminated concrete, cleaning and straightening of existing reinforcing steel, abrasive blasting of column surfaces to the waterline, and placement of 4.1 cubic yards of Class M6 concrete with a minimum 28-day compressive strength of 4,500 psi. All work must comply with the 10-1-25 version of the Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, AASHTO/AWS D1.5M bridge welding code, ASTM standards for structural steel and galvanizing, and SDDOT Environmental Commitments. The project requires adherence to strict traffic control measures outlined in the 14 numbered structural sheets, including temporary pavement marking tape, flexible vertical markers, barricades, and signs, with inspection and acceptance conducted on-site by SDDOT officials. The contract is governed by state-specific provisions rather than federal FAR clauses, including special requirements for compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act, Title VI nondiscrimination assurances, the Clean Air Act, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Contractors must submit weekly certified payrolls through the Elation System and complete a Fuel Adjustment Affidavit, with fuel cost adjustments capped at 15% of the base contract price. The contract includes a mandatory certification regarding Article 3, Section 12 of the South Dakota Constitution and requires contractors to disclose any recent debarment, suspension, or criminal charges related to public contracting. Two bids have been submitted: AGE Corporation’s bid totals $160,042.20 and Holloway Bridge & Culvert’s bid totals $412,737.40, representing the full bid range; the contract will be awarded to one bidder based on competitive pricing. Performance is expected to commence after the bid deadline of June 4, 2026, with a three-year record retention requirement following project completion. Proposal submission must be made through the South Dakota Electronic Bid System, and all documentation must include the Index of Special Provisions, plans, and required affidavits.
