Number: AC-STBG-G-1247(16)E This project, located in Harford County, is for the construction of a portion of MD 24 (Rocks Road). Beginning approximately 2150 ft South of Sharon Road and extending in a Northernly direction to approximately 700 ft South of Sharon Road for a total distance 0.32 miles. The proposed roadway, placed in the same location as the existing roadway, will mill and overlay the entire project limits, construct longitudinal underdrain along the northbound edge of pavement and reconstruct both stream embankments by realigning approximately half of the width of Deer Creek to the east. During the realignment of Deer Creek, additional flow area will be created along the eastern bank of the river. The additional flow area will consist of a vegetated aquatic bench feature, which will allow for flow in the river to spread and reduce the hydraulic stresses acting upon the northbound roadway embankment. The shift in the river to the east will be recreated to mimic the natural conditions of Deer Creek through this section of the river. The aquatic bench will be planted with native vegetation and provide additional habitat and recreational opportunities. Doing so will allow the northbound MD 24 roadway embankment to be constructed at a stable slope angle and permit the reestablishment of native vegetation and preserve the aesthetic nature of Rocks State Park. The completed project will improve both surface and subsurface drainage of the roadway, create a stable roadway embankment, recreate, and protect the natural geologic and riparian features of the park, and improve public safety. A Pre Bid Conference will not be held for this project. Minimum wage rates for each Project, if applicable, have been pre-determined by law and are set forth in the Invitation for Bids (IFB).
