Pavement Smoothness Data Collection & Inertial Profiling

The contract requires high-speed inertial profiling to collect precise pavement smoothness data along a 2.09-mile stretch of WV Route 28 in Pocahontas, specifically to calculate International Roughness Index values for pavement condition assessment. The work must be executed using certified equipment and standardized procedures to ensure data accuracy and compliance with industry benchmarks for surface roughness measurement. All collected data will serve as a critical input for maintenance planning and infrastructure decision-making by the West Virginia Department of Transportation. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380, pertaining to engineering services, with a posted and response deadline set for June 9, 2026. The place of performance is limited to the designated roadway segment in Pocahontas, and while the full address and point of contact are unspecified, all work must align with the agency’s technical requirements. Bidders are expected to demonstrate experience in inertial profiling, data validation, and the delivery of IRI reports meeting state transportation standards. The contract does not indicate any set-aside provisions, suggesting open competition among qualified private contractors.
