    Geotech Eng Report - El Vado and Heron Lake GEO Pavement Report_Signed.pdf
    Terracon Consultants, Inc. completed a geotechnical engineering report for the Heron & El Vado Road Rehabilitation Project in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. The project involves rehabilitating and reconstructing roads and parking areas at Heron Lake and El Vado Reservoir State Parks, including drainage improvements. Subsurface explorations revealed that existing pavements are 2 to 3 inches thick, with subgrade soils primarily consisting of clay, silt, and sand, classified as poor quality for pavement support. The report recommends new pavement sections using hot asphalt concrete pavement (HACP) over full-depth reclamation (FDR) with cement stabilization, with a crushed aggregate base (CAB) layer for Heron Lake sections. Earthwork recommendations cover site preparation, excavation, subgrade stabilization, material placement, and compaction, with a focus on addressing unstable subgrade conditions and drainage issues. The report also addresses corrosion potential, suggesting ASTM Type I-II or II Portland cement for concrete and high corrosion resistance for metal structures. The overall site is deemed suitable for the proposed improvements.
    Memo For Record - Consolidation Determination Redacted final NM VADO.pdf
    The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration has proposed a contract for the rehabilitation of roadways and parking lots at El Vado and Heron State Parks in New Mexico. This initiative is categorized as a total small business set-aside and follows Section 44 of the Small Business Act, which necessitates thorough market research and justification for consolidating contracts over $2 million. A market survey identified 18 small businesses capable of fulfilling these requirements, with multiple socio-economic certifications, affirming their competitiveness. The project exemplifies a consolidation strategy to optimize resources and expedite construction within a single season. This approach is justified as it reduces procurement time, minimizes costs, and has received support from partner entities.

Ultimately, the determination supports the procurement of this work through a consolidated approach to better meet federal contracting objectives and enable efficient use of funds.
