Kent County Council awarded a contract to G W Highways Ltd for the Road Asset Renewal Contract (RARC), focusing on asset management and serving as the principal delivery method for planned road pavement renewal and reconstruction works across Kent.

The works involve replacing deteriorated pavement areas and preservation to prolong life, with schemes ranging from small resurfacing to large reconstruction.

The scope includes cold milling, repaving with asphalt, adjustments to covers, replacement of road markings and studs, and potential traffic loop replacement.

Working conditions include road closures and night-time operations.

The contract also covers ad-hoc road reconstruction and civils works, as well as specialist works for unpredictable asset failures.

The contract is not lotted, with one contractor delivering across all districts.

The expected annual value is £20-25 million, and the total contract value is £400,000,000.
