The underlying solicitation (127EAX26Q0052) is issued by the USDA Forest Service for the Ozark-St. Francis National Forests and addresses deferred maintenance and infrastructure resilience at the recreation area. The project scope includes replacement of the sewer collection system with pressure sewer lines to be directionally drilled under North Sylamore Creek to prevent freezing and damage from debris, replacement or lining of gravity lines, and optional rehabilitation of two pressure lift stations. This site visit provides an opportunity for potential contractors to assess site conditions and project requirements prior to bid submission.
