2023 Access Improvements for the Lime Sludge Dewatering Facility

The purpose of this project is to improve access to the newly-constructed Lime Sludge Dewatering Facility by constructing a concrete driveway better suited to handle heavy equipment use. This project will also include constructing proper drainage for the surrounding area adjacent to the Lime Sludge Dewatering Facility. The current roadway material is a combination of aggregate and recycled pavement. These materials are subject to shifting and settling throughout the annual weather seasons resulting in ponding water and frost heaves. The concrete driveway will also reduce tracking material onto Highway 75 North, and eliminate rutting near the newly-installed security gate. On a weekly basis, the current access driveway is heavily trafficked with over a dozen semi-trucks entering and exiting to haul the newly-produced lime sludge material. The General Manager respectfully requests the Commission approve the specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for 2023 Access Improvements for the Lime Sludge Dewatering Facility, contingent upon final legal approval. Bids shall be upon basis of each payment for the following major estimated quantities: Item Unit Quantity 8" Concrete Pavement SY 2,344 12" Reinforced Concrete Pipe LF 193 Drainage Structure Design G EA 2 Turf Establishment LS 1 ALL QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO: Jade Berube, Project Engineer, Apex Engineering Group, at 701-373-7980 or jade.berube@apexenggroup.com. All questions must be received in writing or by e-mail on or before seven (7) days prior to the bid opening. Responses to technical questions will be issued via addendum through QuestCDN prior to the bid opening. Direct questions about this Project, including pre-bid questions, to Jade Berube at 218-844-2584 and Jade.Berube@ApexEngGroup.com.
