Stockbridge Parking Area and Roads

The project WHXP240414 focuses on constructing a parking area and upgrading roads at the Stockbridge Testing Annex, part of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, Information Directorate, in Rome, NY. The work involves creating a gravel parking pad (Pad 22) and improving the Pad 22 Access and UVECT Drive roads. Key aspects include stripping topsoil, installing geotextile fabric (US Fabrics US 200 or equivalent), and laying an 8-inch compacted depth of NYSDOT Type 2 base course, with 15-inch shoulders at a 1:3 maximum slope around the parking pad. Construction must adhere to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Department of Transportation, and local utility authority standards. Contractors are required to verify dimensions and utility locations, protect existing lawn and gravel drives, and manage site drainage, erosion, and sedimentation. Special attention is given to avoiding and protecting existing utilities, stone walls, and potential archeological discoveries. The project emphasizes adherence to detailed construction sequences and material specifications, ensuring environmental protection and structural integrity.

The Statement of Work outlines the construction of a new 8-inch-deep gravel parking pad for 20 cars and two new sections of 8-inch-deep gravel road at the Stockbridge testing annex. The project requires furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials, including a bid option for an additional 110’ x 40’ parking pad. Key requirements include completing an Air Force Form 103, verifying underground utilities, and submitting a construction schedule. Work must be performed during duty hours, with non-duty hours coordinated with RRS Security Forces. Specifics for gravel pad/road construction include stripping topsoil, installing geotextile (US Fabrics US 200 or equal, meeting NYSDOT Class 1), and an 8-inch compacted depth of NYSDOT item 304.12 Subbase course. Parking pads will have 15-inch shoulders with a 1:3 slope. Restoration involves protecting existing surfaces, removing debris, and installing topsoil with guaranteed seed growth for one year. Material submittals include supplier certifications for subbase course, manufacturer data sheets for geotextile, and Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
