Carson place crossing

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking contractors to construct a hardened creek crossing in Dog Creek, located approximately 2 miles south of Winifred, Montana in Fergus County. The project involves removing an existing culvert and constructing a new crossing using specialized materials including Envirogrid GeoCells, geotextile fabric, stainless steel cables, and 12-foot concrete planks, along with Class I and Class II riprap. This construction project falls under NAICS code 238990 with a small business size standard of $19.0 million, and the contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement. The evaluation process will rank offers by price first, then assess past performance, with the award going to the lowest-priced offeror who demonstrates acceptable past performance. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit on July 25, 2025, at the Winifred Community Center, and quotes are due by August 5, 2025, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time.

This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The project scope is valued at less than $25,000, making it a relatively small-scale infrastructure improvement project. The performance period spans approximately 3.5 months from August 11, 2025, to November 29, 2025, requiring the contractor to complete all work within this timeframe. The crossing construction involves 13 concrete planks and a 45-linear-foot riprap section, with specific provisions allowing the contractor to construct a temporary coffer dam in Dog Creek for dewatering purposes, provided it is completely removed upon project completion. The work location is precisely defined by coordinates 47.52568, -109.33852 in Fergus County, Montana, and contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon wage determination requirements for the region.
