The proposed Runway Rehabilitation project will occur on Runway 9-27 at the Washington County Airport. Runway 9-27 is 5,004 FT x 100 FT and was constructed in several phases. From the 9 end of the runway, the first roughly 4000 LF was reconstructed in 1989, with a widening of 15 FT on each side done in 2007. The last roughly 1000 LF on the 27 end was reconstructed in 1984 and overlaid in 2007. The entire runway was then micro-surfaced and cracksealed in 2014. Another crack sealing and re-marking project was performed in 2020. The original 4000 LF of the runway has PCI's of 57 and 60, the 1000 LF overlay section has a PCI of 74, and the 15 FT widening has a PCI of 84 according to the 2016 PennDOT Pavement Management System. For the Base Bid, the center 70' wide keel section of Runway 9-27 between Stations 12+00 and 35+50 will be full depth pavement repair. This will include the milling of the existing bituminous asphalt down to the subbase. The subbase will be compacted in place with soft areas being replaced, as necessary. The pavement will then be restored and 4" of wearing course will be laid down in 2" lifts. The outer 15' of runway on either side will be milled approximately 2" and replaced with a 2" wearing course. The cross slope of the runway must be adjusted with the milling and paving operations by holding a maximum cross slope of 1.5%/ A line item has also been added for small adjustments that need to be made with a leveling course. The pavement will also be re-marked and grooved. In addition, shoulder backup grading will be required where any pavement drop off from the edge is greater than 2". These areas will be seeded and mulched. Add Alternate #1 will consist of the full depth repair of the entire width of the runway between Stations 12+00 and 35+50. This will be carried out in the same manner as the keel section of the base bid. This summation is for informational purposes only and is not part of the Contract Documents.
