Wrangell Road 6267 Resurfacing

The Forest Service is preparing to solicit bids for road maintenance activities on National Forest Service roads located on Wrangell Island in Southeast Alaska. The project, titled "Wrangell Road 6267 Resurfacing," entails a comprehensive road repair effort including reconditioning of road features such as ditches, shoulders, and roadbeds. Key tasks involve placing a 4-inch lift of compacted crushed aggregate, developing and compacting rock borrow, excavating woodchips from a turnout at milepost 1.5, and constructing a rock buttress wall at milepost 0.4. Additionally, the work includes grass seeding and fertilizing to restore vegetation, as well as the mobilization of necessary equipment. The contractor awarded this contract will assume ownership of all metal and manufactured products excavated during the work, particularly metal culverts and debris found during ditch cleaning, and will be responsible for their removal and proper disposal off Government-administered lands. This project is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 488490 and is managed by the R10 Alaska Regional Office under the Department of Agriculture. The contract’s estimated value ranges from $100,000 to $250,000, highlighting a significant yet targeted effort to maintain and improve the road infrastructure on Wrangell Island.
