This government file outlines the "Indiana Dunes Pavement Preservation" project (NPS PMIS No. 327124) by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Western Federal Lands Highway Division, for the Indiana Dunes National Park. The project, prepared by K. Gray, involves resurfacing and pavement preservation across Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties in Indiana. It details a base project covering 5.96 miles and parking areas, with three additional options: Option X for 1.61 miles and parking, Option Y for Pinhook Bog Parking, and Option Z for 1.88 miles. The document includes detailed bid schedules, estimated quantities for various construction items like micro surfacing, crack sealing, asphalt patching, and temporary traffic control. It also provides typical sections for micro surfacing, full-depth reclamation, crack sealing, and pavement patching, along with surfacing tabulation sheets and area maps illustrating the project locations within the park. The overall purpose is to provide a comprehensive plan for pavement preservation and upgrades within the Indiana Dunes National Park, ensuring adherence to federal highway standards.

The document also provides comprehensive tabulation sheets for surfacing, temporary traffic control, and permanent pavement markings, alongside area maps illustrating the project scope within Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties, Indiana. The project emphasizes protecting existing infrastructure and adherence to material application rates.
The FLH Bridge Oversized/Overweight Permit Load Request is an application for obtaining a permit to transport oversized or overweight loads across bridges. The two-page document details the required information for the application, including applicant and company details (name, USDOT#, phone, email), a description of the load and route, the date of movement, and specific permit vehicle configuration measurements (width, height, length, gross weight). The second page provides a vehicle configuration sketch for top and side views with dimensions, and an axle table to detail axle number, spacing, weight per axle, and number of tires per axle. The document specifies that incomplete, illegible, or inconsistent data will result in the application being returned for correction. It also includes sections for agency review, approval or denial, and permit conditions.
The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Road Inventory Program (RIP) report details the Cycle 6 condition assessment of paved roads and parking areas within Indiana Dunes National Park, conducted in January 2021. This assessment utilizes both automated pavement inspection vehicles and manual ratings to evaluate infrastructure conditions, aiding the National Park Service (NPS) in prioritizing maintenance and rehabilitation projects. The report outlines the program's history, from its establishment in 1976 to its current Cycle 6, which covers all paved roads and parking areas in NPS park units. It also includes an inventory of park routes and parking areas, noting changes from previous cycles such as additions, removals, and modifications to route names, surface types, and user access. The document provides a park-wide summary of paved route conditions, categorized by access level and Pavement Condition Rating (PCR).
The document outlines a federal Request for Proposal (RFP) for pavement preservation at Indiana Dunes, approximately four miles north of Chesterton, Indiana, spanning Lake, Porter, and Laporte Counties. The project, titled “Pavement Preservation Indiana Dunes” (69056725R000016), involves crack sealing, patching, chip seal and micro surface treatments, and pavement marking over 5.96 miles. The estimated price range is $5 million to $10 million, with a tentative completion date of Summer 2026. The work is divided into several categories, including project requirements (construction survey & staking, quality control, sampling & testing, schedules), earthwork (waste), aggregate and base courses (roadway aggregate, full depth reclamation), asphalt pavements & surface treatments (asphalt concrete, chip seal, micro surfacing, crack sealing & filling, patching), and incidental construction (curb & gutter, rental equipment, general labor, permanent and temporary pavement markings, temporary traffic control). The RFP specifies quantities for various tasks across a base project and three options (X, Y, Z), detailing requirements for materials and services in US customary units.
