ITB-2027-001 Paving at Training Center

The Town of Bedford is soliciting sealed bids under solicitation ITB-2027-001 for a unit price contract to provide all equipment, materials, and qualified operators necessary for asphalt milling and overlay services. The project focuses on rehabilitating the Fire Training Center located at 1050 Orange Street, Bedford, Virginia. The scope of work includes the installation of a heavy-duty asphalt section for the entrance drive to accommodate loaded emergency apparatus, a light-to-intermediate duty section for Parking Lot 1, and improvements to the training center loop and burn building operating area. Key requirements include ensuring positive drainage to minimize ponding, creating durable transitions between paved and aggregate surfaces, and performing full site restoration. Pavement markings and striping are explicitly excluded from the scope. Bids must be submitted electronically via eVA or as sealed physical packages to the Town of Bedford Finance Department, with a final deadline of September 17, 2026. Award will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on bid price. The Town may decline awards to firms in litigation with the municipality or those with a history of contract default or specific criminal convictions within the last ten years. Contractors must provide professional recommendations for pavement design and aggregate specifications, as a sealed engineered design is not required. The successful bidder must maintain insurance authorized by the Virginia State Corporation Commission and comply with federal and state anti-discrimination and accessibility laws.
