Project Details:

ND OMAD 2025(1) Minuteman Missile Access Roads

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 6 counties within North Dakota.

In cooperation with the Minot Air Force Base and Central Federal Lands Highway Division, this project includes re-graveling approximately 50 miles of existing gravel Minuteman Missile Access Roads plus any road sections not constructed as part of ND OMAD 2024(1) in various counties within North Dakota, as well as the replacement of up to 27 culverts and subgrade repairs. The intent of this project is to provide necessary aggregate road maintenance and culvert replacement for select routes utilized by the United States Air Force.

The work includes roadway reconditioning and adding four inches of aggregate surface course as well as the replacement of up to 27 culverts.  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.

The project will be procured under the FPVS (Fixed-Price Variable Scope) contracting method and includes approximately 50 miles of variable scope roadway reconditioning and re-graveling, and up to 27 culverts of variable scope in length. The project PS&E will provide a prioritized schedule of roadways to be improved that includes roadway reconditioning and re-graveling of existing aggregate surface roads within the existing roadway bench; as well as the replacement of up to 27 culverts and subgrade repairs.
