SUMMARY OF WORK:

3. The 341st Contracting Squadron at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Great Falls, Montana, is anticipating a solicitation for a HICS Boring and Erosion project. The place of performance will be for up to 40 locations throughout the 10th, 12th and 490th Missile Squadrons in the Malmstrom AFB Missile Field located within a 140-mile radius of Great Falls, MT. These 40 sites will vary in type of work from directional bore to erosion repair. The directional boring will consist of placing a continuous length of 4” or 6” conduit a minimum of 5’ below the creek or riverbank. The conduit will start and stop within the Missile Cable Right of Way/Easement. The erosion repair will include placement of riprap, filling of dirt, topsoil, the installation of broad-based dips, water turn outs and wattles. During construction, the Government will make every effort to provide the Contractor with sites in close proximity to each other to facilitate ease of construction and to keep mobilization efforts to a minimum. The Contractor shall provide all plant, labor, equipment, supervision, services, and materials to execute and satisfy the requirements of this Contract.
