SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Project Description: Based on the Valdez Rural Roads Assessment (written by DOWL and dated March 27, 2025), the City of Valdez wants to pursue repair work to Corbin Creek Neighborhood, Sawmill Drive, Mills Street, and 9th Street. Corbin Creek Neighborhood is a residential neighborhood that currently has gravel roads with shallow ditches. The project design will include the following:
? The neighborhood roads will be re-graded to address drainage issues. Ditches will be cleaned out and regraded as necessary.
? The majority, if not all, of the driveway culverts will need to be replaced.
? Approximately six snow storage sites exist in the neighborhood. We will evaluate the topographic survey and address drainage issues at the snow storage sites and provide asphalt pavement up to the storage areas.
? Paving of Corbin Creek Neighborhood will be shown as an Additive Alternate; while the Base Bid will include road and ditch grading, culverts, and gravel surface.
Sawmill Drive, Mills Street, and 9th Street are in an industrial area. These roads are topped with gravel and currently there is limited to nonexistent drainage facilities. The roads will be regraded as needed and include ditches or storm drainpipes to address the drainage issues. These roads will remain gravel.
The scope of work is more specifically described in the attached proposal dated July 18, 2025.
Project Schedule: DOWL will provide an Engineer's Estimate and 100% Bid ready documents to the City ...
