Dura Avenue Roadway Reconstruction

The Dura Avenue Roadway Reconstruction project involves the reconstruction of approximately 0.17 miles of pavement on Dura Road, extending from Matzinger Road to 925 feet south of Matzinger Road in Ohio. The scope includes removing and replacing the existing pavement, curb and gutter, and drive approaches, along with minor drainage improvements to enhance roadway functionality and safety. The project is managed under a solicitation with a budget range between $500,000 and $1,000,000, emphasizing the use of local skilled labor and responsible contracting practices. It is part of the Ohio Transportation/Engineering & Construction Management organization, with a response deadline set for November 26, 2024. A key aspect of the project involves adherence to the City of Toledo’s Project Labor Agreement (PLA) requirements, which mandate that all contractors and subcontractors working on projects exceeding $100,000 must comply with the PLA provisions. These agreements promote labor standards, wage and benefit consistency, and dispute resolution procedures, ensuring efficient project completion without strikes or lockouts. Contractors are required to participate in pre-job conferences, execute Letters of Assent, and follow grievance procedures outlined in the PLA documents. Additionally, vendors must submit a City of Toledo Child Support Compliance Affidavit if their contract exceeds $10,000, certifying compliance with court-ordered child support obligations. Overall, the project emphasizes responsible contracting, local labor engagement, and compliance with city policies to ensure timely and cost-effective completion.
