Quick Summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, is soliciting quotes for Pavement Repair at the Memphis Cotton Classing Facility in Memphis, TN. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside for the replacement of the entire paved area, which is in severe disrepair. The project is anticipated to be a firm-fixed-price contract with an estimated magnitude between $500,000 and $1M. Quotes are due May 15, 2026, at 12:00 PM CT.
Scope of Work
The project involves the full replacement of the paved area, originally installed in 1995, which suffers from poor drainage and subbase degradation. Key tasks include:
- Full-depth sawcut limits for repair.
- Removal and disposal of existing surface pavement and base material.
- Reworking existing subgrade to meet Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) standards.
- Placing and compacting crushed stone base.
- Applying tack coat to exposed surfaces.
- Placing Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) surface.
- Cleaning and sealing cracks larger than 1/4" within the working area.
- Conditioning all surfaces to TDOT standards.

The project is expected to be completed in three phases (front parking, side driveway, rear paved area) to minimize operational impact, with separate bids requested for each portion, though a lump sum award is anticipated. The entire project must be completed by August 30, 2026.
