Southern Indiana Business Report
The response deadline for submitting bids for construction of the first phase of the Monon South Trail has been extended.
The revised deadline is June 4. Sealed bids for Phase 1A should be sent to Salem City Hall, 201 E. Market St., Salem.
The additional time will allow more contractors to submit bids.
Phase 1A includes several multi-use rails-to-trails segments totaling 20.4 miles. The communities in Phase 1A include Borden, New Pekin, Salem, Saltillo, Campbellsburg, Orleans and Mitchell.
The multi-use path will be constructed on existing railroad ballast within the railbanked right-of-way owned by Radius Indiana. The trail will be a mix of asphalt, concrete and compacted aggregate surfaces. The work includes linear grading, signage, pavement markings, railings and other trail amenities.
Existing bridge structures will be rehabilitated with new deck surfaces. Phase 1A is subdivided into three contract sections and bidders may submit a bid on any individual section or any combination of sections, as set forth in the bid form.
Phase 1B will be a separate project to construct trailheads at locations along the trail and is not included in this contract.
