Sealed bids in single copy for furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment, and performing all work on Project No. 0003207/SFHWY00081; JNU: Riverside & Stephen Richards Congestion Mitigation, described herein, will be received until 2:00 p.m. prevailing time September 26, 2019, at the Construction Contracts Office, 1st Floor, 6860 Glacier Highway, Juneau, Alaska.

This Federal State funded project will consist of reducing congestion in the Mendenhall Valley non-attainment area by improving the Riverside Dr. and Stephen Richards Dr. intersection. The current four way stop will be replaced with a traffic control option and will improve traffic flow, particularly during am and pm peak periods. A compact roundabout and enhanced signalization will be considered as potential solutions to current congestion at this intersection.

The Engineer's Estimate is between $1,000,000 and $2,500,000. All work shall be completed by April 15, 2020. This is a Race Neutral project as defined in Section 120 of the Specifications.
