This is a Description of Work for a federal construction project issued by the USDA Forest Service for the Ozark-St. Francis National Forests. The Blanchard Sewer Line Replacement project is located in the Blanchard Springs Recreation Area, approximately 3 miles from Fifty-Six, Arkansas, with an onsite work start date no earlier than August 24, 2026, to accommodate summer recreation activities in the area.

The scope of work includes replacement of a section of the sewer collection system to restore full functionality, eliminate deferred maintenance, and improve resilience to extreme weather and flood events. Primary work elements consist of directionally drilling pressure sewer lines under North Sylamore Creek to prevent freezing and damage from floating debris, and replacing or lining gravity lines. Optional items include rehabilitation of two pressure lift stations. An on-site pre-bid meeting will be conducted prior to the bidding period. No response dates, award dates, pricing terms, or set-asides are specified in this document, which serves as a preliminary scope definition rather than a complete solicitation package.
