Hebert Hoover Dike, Structures S-269 and S-270 Ramp Paving and Electrical Service, Palm Beach County, Florida

Set Aside: Competitive 8(a). The work includes asphalt paving of existing lime rock landside/lakeside ramps and service platforms as well as installing conduit and pull boxes for future permanent electrical service at S-269 and S-270. The work will require regrading and placement of lime rock base material, placement of Superpave Type SP-9.5 or 12.5 asphalt pavement in accordance with FDOT specifications, excavation of electrical conduit trenches, installation of electrical conduit/pull boxes and backfill of conduit trenches to 95% maximum density. Specific Project Challenges: Existing lime rock ramps and service platforms have been exposed to the elements over the last several years. This has resulted in growth of vegetation and erosion of the lime rock surfaces. Earthwork activities including reworking existing lime rock and addition of clean lime rock will be required prior to placement of finish asphalt pavement. Several tight areas are evident around the existing service platforms and control building. Special equipment and/or experienced personnel will be required to provide a smooth, continuous asphalt surface in these areas. The grade of asphalt pavement varies from minimal to steep. The contractor must have adequate experience to provide asphalt pavement per the slopes and grades indicated on the construction plans.
