UT NP DINO PMS(1), Pavement Preservation DINO

This project involves pavement preservation work within Dinosaur National Monument, located near Vernal, Utah, with precise coordinates at 40°26'17.49"N, 109°18'25.87"W. The scope covers approximately 46.99 miles of roadway and associated parking areas under the Base Schedule, with an optional additional 12.89 miles under Option X, bringing the total potential scope to nearly 60 miles. Work includes chip sealing, microsurfacing, crack and joint sealing, asphalt patching, rumble strip installation, permanent pavement markings, and full temporary traffic control, with specified quantities such as 705,000 square yards of chip seal, 70,000 square yards of microsurfacing, and 2 million linear feet of permanent markings. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price Task Order under the Western Region Pavement Preservation Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), requiring contractors to be pre-qualified participants on that program. The estimated value ranges between $10 million and $20 million, reflecting the combined potential of both base and option work. The tentative solicitation release is anticipated for Fall/Winter 2026, with a target completion date of Fall 2027. All plans and documents are issued electronically via SAM.gov, and interested vendors must be registered SAM users linked to an entity and have the appropriate role access to view the Interested Vendors List. The location presents logistical challenges due to environmental protections and weather dependency, with no site tours available. No formal FAR contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing details, or representations and certifications are yet available; these will be specified in the official solicitation package to be posted in the coming months. The contracting office is located in Vancouver, Washington, with direct contact through wfl.contracts@dot.gov or (360) 619-7520. All performance, inspection, and acceptance activities are expected to occur at the project site within the monument, with quality control responsibilities falling under the contractor’s obligations per Division 153 and 154 standards, though specific testing protocols or referenced codes are not detailed in the current presolicitation materials.
