Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Southcoast Region, State of Alaska DEPARTMENT of Transportation and Public Facilities (DEPARTMENT), Preconstruction Section is seeking design, survey, and right-of-way professional services for the KDK Otmeloi Way Rehabilitation project. The project includes capturing updated survey, preparing the preenvironmental review planset, and design through PS&E. Expected services include civil design, geotechnical, environmental, traffic, and utility coordination. Otmeloi Way is a two-lane road, unpaved except at its east end. The existing road width is about 26 feet, somewhat wider near its ends. Grades approach 14 percent in some areas; there are sharp curves. Segment crash rate analysis indicates a substantive safety performance problem. Within those segments there are discrete or overlapping geometric elements that do not meet current minimum design standards for the existing posted speed limit of 25 MPH. The DEPARTMENT is planning to improve Otmeloi Way from its current state, which is a crowned, undivided two-lane gravel road, to a paved, undivided two-lane road with shoulders wide enough to support pedestrian and bicycle traffic on the south side.
