The City of Box Elder is requesting bid proposals for the Design Services for N Ellsworth Intersections & N Ellsworth Road Reconstruction, Project No. 240035, until 4:00 PM local time, November 21, 2024, via email to cityclerk@boxelder.us.
The City of Box Elder has determined the need to procure engineering services for the evaluation, planning, and design of the intersections at Liberty Blvd. & Ellsworth Road, Ellsworth Road & 225th, and the N. Ellsworth Road between stated intersections.
These intersections are the primary and secondary entrances to the Ellsworth Air Force Base for all installation personnel. The Ellsworth & 225th intersection is also used during specific hours of the day to support Douglas School District hours of operation. The current configuration for both intersections has led to traffic congestion and degraded the installation entrances’ level of security. The N. Ellsworth Road design will mitigate current issues with residential flooding east of the road caused by runoff from city streets and the installation.
Proposal designs will consist of the intersections and road design for the two intersections and the road between them. The City has funding for design services (federal funds from OLDCC) and is working with agencies to secure funding for construction. Project details, specifications, and proposal documents may be obtained at the Box Elder City Hall, 420 Villa Drive, Box Elder, South Dakota, 57719, or by contacting the City Clerk at 605-923-1404 ext. 213.
