DNR GRAVEL ROAD MAINTENANCE

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is seeking a qualified contractor to perform statewide gravel road and parking lot maintenance on its properties. The work is all‑inclusive, covering labor, equipment, materials, and logistics, and must comply with ODOT standards and environmental regulations. The contractor will grade gravel‑surfaced roads, re‑establish crowns for proper drainage, apply limestone top‑dressing and ADA‑compliant surface layers, and perform incidental repairs such as pothole patching, shoulder work, and minor erosion control. All work must be documented with GIS maps, written work plans, photos, and material weight tickets, with separate invoicing for materials. The scope excludes larger capital projects (e.g., culverts) which are handled on a time‑and‑materials basis with prior approval. • All‑inclusive gravel road and parking‑lot maintenance across Ohio DNR property portfolio • Required use of agency‑provided GIS maps and submission of detailed annual work plans and documentation • Contractor retains control of means and methods but must follow agency‑specified standards, schedules, and blackout periods (weather, wildlife season) • Pre‑bid virtual conference on July 7 2026; questions due July 14 2026; bid deadline July 23 2026
