Q5: Can you clarify when this work is to be completed? I know the NTP is May 18th, and the completion date is mid-November, but it sounds like the road closure is for a maximum of 60 days.

A5: All work to be completed within the period of performance Notice to proceed (approx. May 18th) until Nov 1. Project site work should commence and finish in a single 56-day period. The site can be closed for up to 6 weeks. Once an award is made the successful contractor will work with the COR to coordinate actual needed closures of the site and how we may work with and accommodate the recreating public. Such as leaving the site passable to bikes on nights and weekends or providing an alternate path for bikes. It is requested that the contractor provide as much notice as possible so the BLM may prepare the recreating public for the closure.

Please reference back to Section L and Section M as the Contractor’s Construction Schedule is Factor 1 of the Technical Approach Evaluation Factor.
