The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region is seeking contractors for the Curtis Lake Road Maintenance project, which involves maintaining and improving approximately 10.3 miles of existing naturally surfaced road located north of Shoshone, Idaho. The work includes reshaping and grading the roadway to a 12-foot width with a 6-inch compacted aggregate surface course, along with mobilization, traffic signing, site preparation, watering, grading, materials testing, compaction, and finish work using contractor-provided aggregate materials meeting Gradation B specifications. Contractors must demonstrate technical capabilities, past performance, and comply with Construction Wage Rate Requirements while performing at least 15% of the contract work with their own employees. The procurement will be awarded using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit scheduled for August 20, 2025, and proposal submissions due September 5, 2025, at 10:00 MDT to Contracting Officer Patricia A. Fort at pfort@blm.gov.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside with an estimated contract value between $500,000 and $1,000,000. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The performance period is limited to 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, during which the contractor must maintain road accessibility throughout the construction process. The project encompasses a 10.3-mile primary road section and an additional 1.6-mile access route, traversing through Lincoln County on Bureau of Land Management property near the Black Butte Wilderness Study Area and Tee Maze area of critical environmental concern. Contractors are responsible for all material sourcing, including water for construction activities, and must manage spoils by grading and distributing them on-site without creating excessive mounding.
