The Norfolk District, Corps of Engineers is conducting market research to identify potential sources for culvert repair designs.The project includes a base bid consisting of the removal and replacement of two culverts on Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia.

There are four option culverts, pending funding, two of which have similarly environmentally sensitive and restrictive constraints. The complete scope of work is in the $500,000 and $1,000,000 range.
