CO Omad 300(70) Minuteman Missile Access Road   3

PROJECT NUMBER: CO OMAD 300(70)

PROJECT NAME: Minuteman Missile Access Road

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: CO OMAD 300(70) - The Office of Missile Air Defense Program (OMAD) is a Defense Access Road (DAR) program used by the Department of Defense (DoD) to fund the annual maintenance and improvements on certified gravel roads. FHWA works with the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) to support the Air Force Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Program (Minuteman). These Minuteman Missile Access Roads are located in southwestern Wyoming, southeastern Nebraska, and northeastern Colorado.

In cooperation with the F.E. Warren Air Force Base and Central Federal Lands Highway Division, this project includes re-graveling of up to 156.582 miles of existing gravel Minuteman Missile Access Roads in various counties within Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. The intent of this project is to provide necessary aggregate road maintenance for select routes utilized by the United States Air Force.

With a fixed-price variable-scope contracting method, less mileage may be awarded. The total amount of miles included in the scope will be dictated by the mileage proposed. The project PS&E will provide a prioritized schedule of roadways to be improved that is anticipated to include up to 156.582 total miles of roadway reconditioning and re-graveling of existing aggregate surface roads.

SCOPE OF THE WORK: The work includes roadway reconditioning and adding four inches of aggregate surface course. All proposed work is to stay on the existing roadway bench. The proposed typical section consists of reconditioning the existing gravel roadway per Section 303 and adding an additional 4-inches of Aggregate Surface Course with a maximum width of 24-feet. A 4% crown is proposed or as approved by the CO. The Contractor will need to taper down the proposed aggregate surface, per the typical section, at applicable locations.
