The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking a contractor to reconstruct the Dean S Recreation Site in Custer County, Montana. The project involves rebuilding an access road approximately 4,600 feet long, constructing a day use parking area with 10-15 spaces, developing ten dispersed camping sites, installing a double vault toilet, creating an RV Camp Host pad, and building a walking trail system. Proposals are due February 17, 2025, with questions accepted until February 11, 2025, and a mandatory site visit previously held on February 4, 2025. The evaluation will prioritize past performance as the most important factor, with price as the secondary consideration, and the government intends to make an award without discussions. Contractors must submit performance and payment bonds within 10 days of award and begin work within 10 days of contract execution.

The solicitation is specifically set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 237990 with a size standard of $45 million. The estimated contract value ranges between $500,000 and $1,000,000, with a performance period of 183 calendar days from the notice to proceed. The project's timeline is defined from May 1, 2025 to October 31, 2025, requiring substantial work during the summer construction season. The site includes specific technical requirements such as two cattle guards, five culvert crossings, one low water crossing, electrical service installation, and comprehensive site grading and erosion control. Additional project components include an RV pad with power/sewer hookups, electrical pedestals, a double vault toilet, picnic tables, fire rings, and crushed aggregate surfacing across approximately 6 acres of land near the Dean S Reservoir in Montana.
