BLM-CO - Potholes Road Improvement

BLM-CO - Potholes Road Improvement - Amend 1

The purpose of this amendment is to let you know that we are still planning on the site visit. However, there is about a foot of snow on the ground with more in the forecast. Once you leave the paved road it has been plowed, but with the snowbanks on the sides there is little room for maneuvering or turn-arounds. This will limit how many vehicles can actually travel to the work site.
If you still plan on attending the site visit, travel carefully and don't expect to see very much. We do like meeting with you and discussing our projects. If you have questions, please email me. Also, if there is enough interest, I will set up a video conference to discuss if you feel it is necessary. Overall, this is a straight forward project and the pre-bid visit is not mandatory. Bidding has been extended by one week due to inclement weather and to give you time to research with alternate sources, e.g. Google Earth, locals, etc.
