The City Benton, Arkansas will receive bids on a General Contract for the Early Dirt Package for the RV Campground and Soccer Complex project encompasses all initial site preparation activities necessary to establish a stable, buildable platform across the entire development area. The scope of work includes full-site clearing and grubbing, followed by mass earthwork involving approximately 87,000 cubic yards of cut and approximately 930,000 cubic yards of fill. This results in the import and placement of approximately 843,000 cubic yards of net fill material. This effort is intended to elevate the site an average of 8 to 10 feet across the limits of disturbance, effectively raising the project area out of the floodway. Grading operations will include a maximum cut of up to 10 feet in designated areas and a maximum fill depth of up to 16 feet in others, in accordance with the preliminary cut/fill plan provided. This phase will also include the construction of key site drainage features such as swales, detention ponds, and erosion control to manage surface runoff during and after grading operations. These components are critical to maintaining site stability and controlling erosion throughout the development process. The work will involve the disturbance of several delineated wetlands, which is accounted for within the environmental permitting for this phase. However, the central creek corridor running through the site — serving as a natural divider between the RV Campground and the Soccer Complex — will remain undisturbed and protected throughout this phase. No utility installation is included in this package; all underground utility work will be addressed in subsequent bid phases
