UNH Ballard Street Parking Lot Replacement

The University of New Hampshire is seeking qualified contractors to replace the Ballard Street parking lot on its Durham campus. The scope includes demolition of the existing surface, sub‑grade preparation, installation of a new pavement system, curbing, striping, drainage improvements, and associated site work such as fencing, temporary pedestrian routes, and portable restrooms. Two optional alternates are offered: an upgrade to a heavy‑duty pavement section and a credit for reflective markings. The contract will be awarded on a lowest‑responsible‑bid basis after a formal proposal deadline. • Base‑bid covers full replacement of the parking lot (earthwork, paving, curbing, striping). • Alternate 1 – Heavy‑duty pavement upgrade (higher‑spec materials). • Alternate 2 – Deductible credit for reflective markings. • Mandatory pre‑bid informational meetings on April 16 and April 20, 2026; questions due April 23, 2026. • Construction scheduled to run from mid‑May to mid‑August 2026, with required bonds, insurance, and sub‑bid disclosures.
