Quick Summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), through the ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH INSPECTION SERVICE, has issued a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (RFQ) for Pavement Repair at the Memphis Cotton Classing Facility in Memphis, TN. The project involves replacing the entire paved area, which is in severe disrepair due to poor drainage and subbase degradation. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Quotes are due May 15, 2026, at 12:00 PM CT.
Scope of Work
The objective is to perform comprehensive paving work at the Memphis Cotton Classing Facility. Key tasks include: full-depth sawcut and removal of existing pavement and base material; reworking the subgrade to Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) standards; placing and compacting crushed stone base; applying tack coat and Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) surface; cleaning and sealing cracks; and applying a fog seal over the entire work area. A phased approach is expected to minimize operational impact, potentially breaking the project into three parts: front parking, side driveway, and rear paved area. All materials and workmanship must comply with the latest TDOT "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction."
